Bosshard Monique

Bosshard studied rhythmics at the Institut Emile Jaques-Dalcroze in Geneva and dance at the Hochschule für Musik, Tanz und darstellende Kunst in Vienna, where she studied modern dance with Rosalia Chladek. After returning to Lausanne, she founded the Atelier-expression-danse in 1968 and developed her own method based on the conscious perception of the body, movement, improvisation and experimentation. She taught this method in courses and workshops for adults and children and organized numerous performances.

Her interest in the therapeutic dimensions of rhythm led her to train in primitive dance with the ethno-psychoanalyst France Schott-Billmann. Bossard has given numerous lectures, interviews, demonstrations and courses to sensitize early childhood educators, teachers and the general public in the canton of Vaud to the importance of physical expression.
