Performer and choreographer Catol Teixeira is leading a workshop with students at the Beaux-Arts de Paris for the Échelle Humaine festival.
‘We'll be immersing ourselves in exercises to get us moving, bring out dances and identify their specificities. Based on very precise instructions, nourished by the words and performance research of Hypatia Vourloumis, we will allow our imagination and our feelings to manifest themselves, in our bodies and in the relationships we weave between ourselves. We'll meditate, sweat, take the pulse of moving pleasures and our shared presence; we'll try to give substance to our preoccupations and dance together, intimately, right up to the party’. Catol Teixeira
After training in classical dance and aerial circus techniques, Catol Teixeira graduated in contemporary dance at La Manufacture in Lausanne (Switzerland).
Catol's work is a constant practice in the perception of space-time, and they continue to seek choreographic methods that challenge what a body can be. They dance as a way of not forgetting that bodies are a place of passage, relationship and negotiation between organic-political-cultural forces, a threshold of memories and a field of desires in motion.
In 2021, they created the solo La Peau Entre Les Doigts as part of they Bachelor's program at La Manufacture in Lausanne. In 2022, the solo Clashes Licking, which has already been presented on numerous theaters and festivals, such as the Théâtre de Vidy in Lausanne, which will accompany him on their next projects.
In 2023, they begin the project Zona de derrama / Arrebentaçao with five performers, which will be finalized and presented in autumn 2024 in Switzerland, at the ADC in Geneva, at the Théâtre de Vidy in Lausanne, then in France at Points Communs (Scène nationale) in March 2025.
