An encounter through movement and words with Greek choreographer Katerina Andreou !

Discussion on her rigorous training practice, at the origin of her explosive pieces, and on her most recent piece BSTRD that prolongs her examination of identity quests and the need to belong, greatly inspired by house music and dance stemming from New York and Chicago in the 1980s.

Recommended to wear comfortable clothes to move in, open to all.

Warm Up Sessions : A training for the body and mind. From jumpstyle to ballet, from break dance to contemporary, practice then discuss the indispensable movements and gestures that anticipate a performance - the ultimate moment of sharing with an audience. Each Session will begin with a warm up led by the invited dancer or collective, and will be followed by a discussion on themes bridging body movements and social realities : the performativity of the human condition, circulations and physical disruptions in a decorporalized era. With the Warm Up Sessions, we aspire to associate bodily effort with mindful effervescence.

A series curated by Madeleine Planeix-Crocker.
