Presentation of the artist
Fred Faula
A former high-level karateka who converted to hip-hop, he took his first steps in dance in 1998 in battles with his various crews, then developed his art within professional companies. In 2010, he was crowned French Breakdance Champion and placed third in the World Championship with his team La Smala. A dancer, performer and choreographer based in Bordeaux, he works with a number of structures and artists, including the Hors Série company and accordionist Vincent Peirani, with whom he shares curiosity, a taste for risk and boundless open-mindedness. His encounters, enthusiasm and curiosity lead him to navigate from contemporary to body percussion, from competition to creation, from animation to cultural mediation… seeking to engage both body and mind.

Greek dance workshop
Pulsations! Enter the dance
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...On Saturday, Jan 31, 2026

Pulsations! Enter the dance
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...On Saturday, Nov 15, 2025

Contemporary dance workshop
Pulsations! Enter the dance
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...On Saturday, Dec 6, 2025
