Training description:

For this start-of-season Fil, I would like to offer a choreographic and vocal practice centered on the figure of the bouffon. In search of spaces of freedom, we will start with the idea of foolishness in the body and voice to lead our imaginations into disobedient and subversive transformations, through playful, joyful and collective practices. Come in large numbers, with your inspirations and liberated bodies!

Bio:

Flora Détraz is a choreographer, dancer and vocalist. Working at the intersection of dance, performance and music, she has been creating hybrid works since 2013 with the PLI company, exploring the relationships between body and voice through the ideas of the invisible, the intimate and transformation. Her work questions social norms and representations of women’s bodies. Trained notably with Maguy Marin and at Forum Dança in Lisbon, she collaborated for ten years with choreographer Marlene Monteiro Freitas. Her solo Tutuguri won the PSO platform in 2017, and the show Muyte Maker was selected by Aerowaves in 2019 and won the Podium competition in 2021. In 2023, she was an artist-in-residence at Villa Albertine/ Institut Français in New York.

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.
