Furtivités / atelier-labo
Until 29 Nov 2026
About this event
On November 29 from 14 to 19h at Pôle 164, we’re offering a workshop-lab connected to a choreographic piece produced by La Mèche.
Furtivités is a danced, performative duet created by Yas Lammler and Liselotte Singer between 2024 and 2026. In this workshop, connected to the creation, we invite you to explore the idea of unity by experiencing our bodies in motion through contact and improvisation, in a playful exchange that can be spontaneous, intimate, gentle, sensual, or aggressive. By sharing technical tools to help practice some of the qualities we explore during the performance, we invite you to enter and make this world of hybrid imaginaries your own.
Organized by: La Mèche Marseille
La Mèche is a nonprofit association founded by dancers and choreographers Anne-Gaëlle Thiriot, Julien Dégremont, and Yasmina Lammler, joined at the end of 2023 by Liselotte Singer. It supports a variety of projects and performances in which knowledge-sharing, the body, and dance drive creation and dissemination.
A particular focus of the organization is bringing together a plurality of artistic identities within a single association and creating spaces for meeting, exchange, and learning through practice, across social and cultural backgrounds.
Yasmina Lammler is a dancer, performer, choreographer, and shiatsu practitioner based in Marseille. Raised in Arles, she has a degree in political science, which greatly influences her work in artistic expression: she focuses on art in public spaces and grounds her work in contact, improvisation, and the space in between, with a radical feminist and queer approach. She currently works with Elena Cocci (Fera), Mathilde Monfreux (Caring Banquise), Adel El Shafey & la Compagnie Scribe (Yalla, my friends), co-founded the Not Yet Collective with friends, and teaches professional dance classes with Collectif B.
Julien Dégremont is a performer whose work draws on dance and circus and often takes place in outdoor and public spaces. He works with elements such as verticality and suspension (rope work, climbing, aerial installations), materials (boards and ropes), hand balancing, and partnering that combines acrobatic lifts with Contact Improvisation. He collaborates with the companies Malaxe, Willi Dorner, Rift, Solsikke, Muerto Coco, and Itinerrances / Christine Fricker. He also works regularly with Lieux Publics, is a stage manager, and takes part in organizing and programming many live performance events.
Anne-Gaëlle Thiriot is a dancer, choreographer, and teacher who moved to Marseille in October 2020 after 13 years in the United Kingdom, where she collaborated as a dancer and co-creator with many companies (Exit Map, h2dance, etc.) and was an associate artist with Candoco Dance Company. Her work is influenced by Contact Improvisation, release technique, choreology, geology, somatic imagery, architecture, and social choreography. Passionate about meeting others and embracing their diversity, she works with Mathilde Monfreux, L’Autre Maison / Andrew Graham, and Libertivore / Fanny Soriano. She recently created TEAM WITH NO NAME with British artist Kimberley Harvey and is a practitioner of the Feldenkrais Method.
Liselotte Singer works in the fields of somatic practices, improvisation, and contemporary dance creation. She holds a degree in “Dance, Context, Choreography” from HZT, Berlin, where she lived from 2012 to 2021, and a Master’s in Dance from Paris 8. Alongside her work as a choreographer, assistant, and performer, she now wants to give collective and collaborative practices a central place in her artistic life, and teaches Yoga and Contact Improvisation.
