OUR STORY<\/h2><\/div>
<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>

Books on the Move began with the desire to create a traveling bookstore specialised in contemporary dance, performance and somatic practices for dancers to access a literature in lack of visibility.<\/p>\n

Founded in Berlin, in 2008, by Agn\u00e8s Benoit, the bookstore settled for the duration of one evening or for a whole festival in the capital dance venues, and very quickly started traveling everywhere in Germany. Over the years its catalogue in English and German languages expanded. From the start Books on the Move also functioned with an online store.<\/p>\n

In 2013, Books on the Move leaves Berlin and settles in Bordeaux. It becomes a French non-profit organisation (association loi 1901) which allows for an expansion of its activities towards events and workshops around movement, writing, reading, language. St\u00e9phanie Pichon, who informally had been part of Books on the Move\u2019s adventure since the Berlin years, co-founded the non-profit organisation.\u00a0From the Nouvelle-Aquitaine region, Books on the Move continues to travel everywhere in France and in Europe and develops workshops, conferences and events during its travels. Expanded BOM emerged.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>

THE TEAM<\/h2><\/div>
<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>

For many years Agn\u00e8s Benoit<\/strong> shared her life between France, England, the United-States and Germany. Whether it be during her studies, teaching or presence on stage, sharing and reflecting around the moving body have always been her anchor point, playground\u2026 From her long practice of improvisation arises a series of interviews (On the Edge\/Cr\u00e9ateurs de l\u2019Impr\u00e9vu<\/a>, Contredanse, 1997), as well as a multidisciplinary and experimental approach to language learning through movement.<\/p>\n

St\u00e9phanie Pichon<\/strong> crosses path with Books on the Move in 2008, in Berlin, where she is an independent journalist specialised in performing art and more specifically on contemporary dance. Back in Bordeaux since 2012, she shares her time between her writings as a journalist for theaters and companies, as a cultural mediator (conferences, encounters, teaching) and her implication in Books on the Move\u2019s project for which she\u2019s the co-founder.<\/p>\n

Jeanne Dantin<\/strong> was a volunteer at Books on the Move for a few years, she then became the secretary from 2021 to 2023. Jeanne still works closely with Books on the Move, now as a consultant, as part of Antennes<\/a><\/strong>, a production and artistic projet development organisation, that she cofounded with Isabelle Ellul and Amance Riquois Tilmont.\u00a0\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

BOM booksellers<\/strong> : a group of about ten bookseller volunteers, all members of the non-profit organisation, roam theaters from the Bordeaux region and elsewhere in France and in Europe, with a selection of books, alone or at our sides.
\nEach year, we offer training sessions.<\/p>\n

Nothing could happen without the commitment of our board:
\nH\u00e9l\u00e8ne Petitprez (president), Marie-Paule Leurs (treasurer), Jeanne Dantin (secretary).<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>
