He also interferes as guest artist in various art schools of arts and dance, especially the Exerce master. He just presented an exhibition "general warm-up" at the choreographic center of Montpellier - Christian Rizzo direction. Conceived as an editorial project to be activated, the exhibition becomes the hybrid place between documentation and warm up area, and positions the warm-up as a poetic, political and potentially functional material.
