Transmission
With variable geometry, the educational interventions carried out by the company are created and developed according to the audiences for which they are intended (neophytes, amateurs and circus professionals of all ages).
The company offers a comprehensive body work that combines circus and dance, enhanced by research into organic matter. It presents its approach to acrobatic movement linked to contact dance.
One of the challenges is to relearn to participants how to be in a relationship, to offer the possibility of decontextualizing physical contact from its social approach, to re-tame touch and to approach the body as a malleable and metamorphosable material: what we call "the body as material", through dramaturgical situations. Acrobatics summons the imagination to tell sensations and stories.
The company transmits an artistic and technical practice and provides educational tools capable of stimulating the motor skills, cooperation and curiosity of the participant.
Workshop proposals specific to each piece of the company are proposed:
Around Hêtre
The main themes covered: solitude, feminine archetypes, the forest, the apparatus object, the dramaturgy of the suspended body. The disciplines that can be involved: aerial dance/dance.
Around Phasmes
The main themes covered: animality, chimeras, metamorphoses, the material body, mutual aid, solidarity. The disciplines that can be involved: circus / hand-to-hand carrying / dance / acro-sport / plastic arts / SVT.
Around Fractales
The main themes covered: Fractals, symmetry, organic, constellations, collapse, ecology, the interconnection of life, resilience, cyclical or chaotic transformations. The disciplines that can be involved: circus / dance / acro-sport / mathematics / plastic arts / SVT.
A (dis)assembled piece, a substantial educational tool, was designed by the CANOPÉ network (network for educational creation and support) around the show for national education teachers (primary, middle and high school).
Around Ether
The main themes covered: the relationship with the Other, the fear of the Other, sharing a restricted space, cooperation. The disciplines that can be involved: aerial dance / dance / acro-sport / French / visual arts.
Around Apparitions
The main themes covered: landscape and body, image, optical illusion, camouflage, cooperation. The disciplines that can be involved: photography / plastic arts / aerial dance / dance / acrobatics / acro-sport.
An approach to dramaturgical writing can be considered for long-term interventions (circus laboratory). Generally speaking, since the company's shows can be performed outdoors or indoors, the workshops do not systematically take place in a room.
