Danceoke participatory ball

In the museum With María Moreno
Verso libre is all about dancing fever, dancing anywhere, dancing for pleasure, with or without motivation, without ambiguity, in search of new stimuli to find new forms. 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...

For the general public with Poolidor
Bal trad takes on a whole new dimension with Poolidor, a duo that fuses traditional Berry music with the haunting sounds of North Africa. On stage, a cobbled-together hurdy-gurdy and machines face off against a vinyl turntable to create a raw, hypnotic sound at the crossroads of eras. For this ball, they are joined by Moroccan singer and percussionist Bachir Rouimi. Together, they create a bridge between traditions, blending Western melodies with the soul of the Maghreb… A sensory and...

Adults, all levels, With Bayram Varsak and Nicolas Courdeau The program takes you on a journey through four traditional Kurdish dances, each with its own distinct rhythm, to explore the richness and diversity of this dance culture. The choreographies, simple and accessible to all, are first learned in silence, without music, to integrate the steps and sequences. Once the basics have been mastered, the music comes in to energize the whole group. The workshop also includes a rhythmic introduction...

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...

All ages 13 and up With Anne Lopez
When the world turns upside down, the dancer stands tall; he makes imbalance his greatest strength, and his dance exists only in the present, between the imaginary and the real world. Anne Lopez proposes a two-stage workshop process: allowing the dance nested in each person’s body to unfold, then to be written. Dancing, searching for gestures, getting into movement, letting yourself be surprised by the impulse of an idea, a sound, a place or someone else. Improvise, then collect the...

Adults, all levels With Dimitris Adam & Nicolas Mélodias, accompanied by Violette Boulanger (violin) and Victor Stoichita (laouto)
Thrace, Macedonia, Peloponnese, Crete, the Aegean Islands or the Ionian Islands – each region of Greece is home to diverse cultural traditions. While the dances of the mountainous regions are identifiable by their marked steps on the ground, the nissiotika (island dances) feature more bouncy movements, like the waves that surround the countless islands of the archipelago. Accompanied by the laouto (lute) and violin, this workshop is an opportunity to discover an anthology of traditional...

Adults, all levels With Nabjibe Said and Aline Lopes
Much more than just a dance, hip-hop was born in the streets of the Bronx, New York, in the 1970s. It was a protest movement, a way of expressing oneself and partying away from violence. Breakdance is one of its most emblematic forms, with its ground movements, acrobatic figures and explosive energy. Nabjibe Said and Aline Lopes propose a workshop to discover this practice, through the movements and flows that have shaped the history of hip-hop. An opportunity to connect with the power and...
