Technosomatics is a movement practice developed by choreographer Frédéric Gies. As a form of meditation in movement, it explores a trance-like state of consciousness and recognises the healing potential of dance. It also approaches club dancing as a tool for self-awareness and for expanding the limit of what our senses can perceive.

The movement practice consists of a collective and individual exploration of how our bodies' chemical systems and chakras (energy centres) are affected by club dancing to techno music. The practice connects to both the somatic field (movement education practices) and to techno club/rave dance cultures.

The work originates from Frédéric Gies' encounters with different somatic practices and dance floor experiences.

Frédéric Gies has taught the practice internationally to both professional dancers and the general public.
The practice has been shared in several dance BA and MA programmes as well as at various public manifestations such as Impulstanz (Vienna), Tanzkongress (Dresden), Centre for Contemporary Art Ujazdowski Castle (Warsaw), art stations - Stary Browar (Poznan), Ponderosa (Germany), Weld (Stockholm), HZT (Berlin), Tanzfabrik (Berlin), Skogen (Gothenburg) etc. and has met its audience internationally.
