Dance ritual for a group

Audience: teenagers
15-19 July 2013 (2pm-6pm)


Latifa Laâbissi crédit Caroline Ablain

Choreographer Latifa Laâbissi, artist in residence at les Laboratoires d’Aubervilliers offers five days of introductory contemporary dance workshops.

“For this workshop, we are going to play around with inventing group dances as a sort of joyful, happy ritual. Every participant can come with a play list of music that they have chosen, songs, music, film soundtracks… We will use them to create scores to accompany the dances:
     Dance of rage
     Joyful dance
     Spoken dance
     Calm dance
     Hip dance
     Magnificent dance
     Ghostly dance
     Poignant dance
     Macabre dance
     Festive dance
     Grotesque dance
     Disjointed dance
     Dense dance
     Copied dance
     Dizzying dance
     Mute dance
     Exhausted dance
     Magic dance”  

Choreographed pieces, installations, performance conferences, multidisciplinary collaborations – mixing genres, reflecting on and redefining artistic formats, Latifa Laâbassi’s work explores a landscape enriched by multiple cultural identities that give birth to stories, characters and voices. She shakes up the codes of dance with recalcitrant bodies, multiple stories, combinations of materials that let in signs of the time.
