Improvisation in Dance workshop with Emmanuel Grivet

THE PURPOSE OF THIS WORKSHOP is to allow each dancer to experience deeply his/her own specific presence in movement and in performance and to develop his/her own ability to create, to relate and to compose in the instant. According to the situation, dealing with the unexpected, finding freedom in partnership, opening imagination and sensibility into a powerful being, are the main issues to be approached. DIRECTIONS FOR WORK - body preparation, through an approach of the different organic systems - fluids, organs, skin, skeleton and muscles - reaching easiness and freedom ; - experience and development of movement qualities, among them power, fluidity and full presence ; - technical elements of dance-contact-improvisation: listening from inside - impulses, desires, personal habits - and taking care of outside signs - partner’s intentions, sound and space, atmosphere, energy flows ; - experiencing simple frames - solo, duo, groups - allowing to create instantaneous dance compositions and little open pieces including stage space, dramaturgy, and sound EMMANUEL GRIVET Choreographer, dancer and teacher. He first was a student of Jean Masse, Jackie Taffanel, and Trisha Brown company. Then he danced for Alain Abadie and Marc Vincent, and, as a choreographer, he created since 1993, more than twenty pieces for his own group or other companies. Since 1998, he is developing a research about improvisation, dance-contact, open choreography and instantaneous dance compositions, which drove him to meet and dance with some figures of the stream (Mark Tompkins, Julyen Hamilton...). He is collaborating today with various artists – performers, dancers, musicians, visual artists - into many projects - creations, performances, workshops – within the field of improvisation and open composition, in his country and abroad (Europe, Mexico, Kenya, South Korea, Israel…). In the same time, he is running on an original choreographic route, dealing with the issues of body and movement on stage, and questioning the conditions of performance and audience relationship.
