About Samantha

Need temporary support for a show's reception?
Are you looking for someone for one-off actions?
Need to strengthen your teams' skills in Artistic and Cultural Education (ACE)?

I ensure the reception of the public and follow-up to guarantee a smooth and welcoming experience. I offer "looking" workshops to awaken critical thinking and foster exchanges. I lead guided or mediated tours that spark curiosity and encourage dialogue. I conduct targeted mini-trainings to equip your professionals and enrich their practices.

Always driven by culture, dance, and human relationships, I am convinced that sharing experiences and diversity of practices are essential in transmitting and raising awareness about culture!

I am available for a few hours, days, or weeks. I am available to discuss your projects and explore collaboration possibilities together. Do not hesitate to contact me to arrange a meeting or a call!
