PARIS: Rencontre nationale / Danse en amateur et répertoire
Bonjour,
La 7e rencontre nationale « Danse en amateur et répertoire » se déroule cette année à Paris, les samedi 1er juin à partir de 16h30 et dimanche 2 juin à partir de 11h00 au Théâtre National de Chaillot.
Ce programme « Danse en amateur et répertoire » a permis à quinze groupes de danseurs amateurs de 12 régions de France de travailler toute l'année un extrait d'une pièce de répertoire avec des chorégraphes, des danseurs professionnels, des notateurs.
Chacun des groupes présentera « sa » danse sur la grande scène Jean-Vilar : un concentré d'une histoire de la danse et de ses esthétiques diverses :
Les Caractères de la danse de Christine Bayle, musique de Jean-Ferry Rebel (1715) ; Soaring (1920) de Doris Humphrey ; Tuning Score (1975) de Lisa Nelson ; Plaine des Sables (2004) d'Anne-Marie Porras ; May B (1981) de Maguy Marin ; Negro Spirituals (1932) d'Helen Tamiris ; Les Tournesols (1988) de Dominique Petit ; Asile poétique (1998) d'Héla Fattoumi et Éric Lamoureux ; Jours étranges (1989) de Dominique Bagouet ; Triton (1990) de Philippe Decouflé ; Visages de femmes (1973) de Dominique Dupuy ; Solitaires (2008) et L’Insensible Déchirure (2006) de Daniel Dobbels ; Partita-S (2005) d'Erika Zueneli et Postural : études (2007) de Fabrice Ramalingom.
Nous serions très heureux de vous compter parmi nous lors de ces journées.
Cordialement,
