Ball-passing workshop

Adult, all levels, Compagnie Sylvain Huc
Sylvain Huc sees the body in movement as a language, but also as a technology, a set of techniques that he shares. The workshop unfolds in perpetual movement, from floor to standing. The repetition of gestures that gradually become more complex becomes a working principle. Made up of strata that gradually build up, these gestures, or motifs, cultivate physical rigor and precision of movement. “There’s a strong artisanal dimension to my practice, in the sense that repetition of...

In the museum With María Moreno

On this occasion, the bailaora (dancer) focuses on sound. All the locations resonate authentically, evoking memory and contributing to the reading and interpretation of the space itself. Here as elsewhere, the sound space shapes the place, just like a column, a ceiling or a cornice; bodies also react differently to sound, and...
