Training description:

During this week, I will offer warm-ups alone or in pairs inspired by fascia work and fasciapulsology. The rest of the workshop will focus on “physical disobedience,” an improvisation technique I developed between 2021 and 2022 with dancers J. Gigout and Y. Chen and dramaturgs P. Hass and A. Ernst. It aims to question decision-making during the creative act: through deliberate disobedience, the goal is to access decision-making strategies freed from social conditioning, fear, education, self-judgment and habit.

The work will develop throughout the week, so you are invited to attend the full week of training! Of course, it is still possible to come for just one or a few sessions, as long as you are aware of this ;)

Bio:

Céline Bellut is a choreographer and multidisciplinary artist, based in Marseille after eleven years in North Rhine-Westphalia (2012-2023), where she established herself on the German arts scene. Since 2021, she has been developing The Unproductive Bodies Performance Trilogy, three stage productions that question neoliberalism, capitalism and the cult of productivity through different forms of physical resistance, using an inclusive, anti-ableist approach. The “physical disobedience” technique is at the heart of the trilogy’s second production. Céline is also training in fasciapulsology (Carini method) at IFCC France.

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 presents a range of projects and performances in which knowledge-sharing, the body and dance drive creation and dissemination.

The organization is particularly interested in bringing together a plurality of artistic identities within a single association and creating spaces for meeting, exchange and learning through practice, in a socially and culturally diverse setting.

Yasmina Lammler is a dancer, performer, choreographer and shiatsu practitioner based in Marseille. Raised in Arles, she holds a degree in political science, which strongly 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, from a radical feminist and queer perspective. 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, often taking place in outdoor and public spaces. He works with elements such as verticality and suspension (rope work, climbing, aerial installations), materials (boards and ropes), practices hand balancing, and develops partner work combining acrobatic lifts and 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.), as well as an associate artist with Candoco Dance Company. Her work is influenced by Contact Improvisation, release technique, choreology, geology, somatic imagery, architecture and social choreography. With a strong interest in meeting others and embracing their diversity, she works with Mathilde Monfreux, L’Autre Maison / Andrew Graham, 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 graduated with a BA in “Dance, Context, Choreography” from HZT, Berlin, where she lived between 2012 and 2021, and holds 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.
