She will discuss the role of warm ups in her practice that not only invites bodies to dance, but also sounds, words, and ideas. This method is particularly present in her landmark piece May B (1981), presented from February 27 to March 12 at the Théâtre de la Ville, and inspired by Samuel Beckett's corpus. Speech that provokes movement or her embodied action, such are the themes at the heart of the next Warm Up Session.

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.
