The Desnoyers cell

2022

In-situ creations, collaborations, commissioned works, co-creation and landscape scenographies: the choreographer invests in the space of a few months a multitude of choreographic formats with specific stakes. But what about the ritual of the “rehearsal”? What space does the “rehearsal” occupy in such atypical contexts?

The choreographer brings together seven dancer-creators and elaborates with them a framework to reinvest different compositional modes. Whether they come from tradition or are specific to the evolution of the practice, different processes are mixed and enriched by a constant dialogue with the dancers. What value does dance still place on these compositional modes today? How can they be invested under new perspectives or perhaps simply renewed?
