Michel Kelemenis for KLAP Maison pour la danse and Christian Sebille for the GMEM - Centre national de création musicale propose to about fifty students and young professionals of dance, music and performance techniques to meet during a 10-day laboratory-centrifuge.

Training in the performing arts is necessarily focused on specialties. However, the professional reality imposes the convergence and the dialogue of several disciplines, artistic and technical, so that the messages of the authors are fully expressed on stage.

Considering public performance at the crossroads of time and space, it is essential to encourage the encounter of choreographers and dancers with the world of music as well as with the apparently more technical world of light and sound.

MOVE! #4 stands at this crossroads as an open and abundant field of experimentation. The choreographers shake up their personal intuitive way of engaging in dialogue with the collaborators. For the first time at the head of a group of 15 dancers, they seek, integrate or observe the multiplied influences of bodies, sounds and spaces.

The dancers leave the cocoon of their school. In addition to listening to the choreographers' questions, and to the concrete discovery of the rich environment in which a creation emerges, they are confronted with and open to other physical imaginations.

The composers break the solitude of their practice to collaborate on two levels, among themselves and with a choreographer. The sound technicians who are associated with them discover the finesse of a creator's requirement, making themselves available to listen, to wait, to try things out. Finally, the lighting technicians free themselves from the strictly technical dimension of their training to put themselves at the service of the subject. They concretely approach the dramaturgical importance of the underlining of spaces by light; they apprehend the time of the advent of images and the relevance of a sequencing.

JUNE 29 TO JULY 9, 2022

2 work groups of 15 dancers led by 2 professional choreographers, each accompanied by 1 lighting apprentice, 1 sound apprentice and 1 composer are established by drawing lots, under the determination to provoke absolutely crossings and meetings.

The artistic crossroads BOUGE! is a project of KLAP Maison pour la danse in partnership with the GMEM - Centre national de création musicale de Marseille, supported by the Cléo Thiberge-Edrom Foundation.
