This post is an extension of that one.

During the stretching sessions of my dance courses, I often happen to broadcast Grace Jones’ Corporate Cannibal piece and while working on the elongation of specific muscles & muscle group, I ask my students to focus on the experience of fascination, which I interpret to be at the crossroads of the imaginary and the corporeal.
Rather than asking how one would have to define the ontological status of fascination, I actually wonder why fascination proves to be a paradigm “par excellence” to cover, that is to say, both nominate and legitimate, contemporary artistic experience?

Pleased to meet you, pleased to have you on my plate
your meat is sweet to me
your destiny
your fate

i’m the spark, make the world explode
i’m a man-eating machine, i’ll make the world explode

With the concept of “re|actions”, Annie Vigier and Franck Apertet reveal the approach that they have adopted and which constitutes the uniqueness of their work. The work touches upon the interpretation of systems of representation. It is developed by confronting the identity of exhibition contexts that it infiltrates. Each piece produced expresses a unique position, its presentation is developed using procedures that are incessantly re-interpreted. This approach of individualising implementations constitutes the choreographers’ unity of reflection and places the progression of the work at the centre of the debate over transdisciplinary issues and the exportation of works into other contexts.

On March 5th and 6th, the company will perform the first application of “Topologie” in the frame of the residency at the National Choreographic Center of Franche-Comté in Belfort.

You know how sometimes, during late-night wanderings around the internets, you stumble upon lost favorites and new classics to treasure? Something about fashion week put me in mind of these fuh-IERCE catwalk bitches. First up, Dramatics queen Alloura (RIP), followed by a little taste of that departed genius Willie Ninja of the House of Ninja. Divas, to the runway, please!
