The training course wants to open new ways of research and elaboration of elements already used in the choreographer's work, all of this based on the choreographers' previous work. The whole course is designed as a dialogue between choreographers and experienced artists (“coaches”) who guide the former in their work.
Concept:
Participating choreographers will create something for the opportunity of the course or will elaborate on an extract of an already existing choreography (15 minutes maximum) that will serve as a basis for the work during the training course. The coaches will see the basic material on a video recording beforehand so that they can get acquainted with the inner world of each choreographer and understand their way of perception before the beginning of the training course.
During the training course the participants will analyse individual elements of their choreographies, try to define these and, together with their coaches, re-identify what is important and what could be further developed. The results of their work will be presented within a public work in progress. The goal isn't to present a final product or a whole choreography but rather a phase of a creative process.
The training course is designed for professional dancers and choreographers.
Price: 180 EURO
After having the opportunity to work with such personalities as Maurice Béjart and Carolyn Carlson, he presented his first choreography in 1978 at Bagnolet and decided to found his own company a year later. In his choreographic work he focuses on merging diverse means of artistic expression [ … ]
Jean-Christophe Paré graduated into the Paris Opera Ballet in 1976 and was promoted to First Soloist in 1982. For a number of years before and after 1982 he was a member of the Paris Opera’s experimental dance group Groupe de Recherche de l’Opera de Paris (GRCOP). He left the Paris Opera to work with various contemporary French choreographers, such as D. Larrieu, R. Chopinot, F. Verret, A. Degroat, and to concentrate on his own choreography (he has created more than fifteen works to date). He has worked extensively with Wilfred Piollet and Jean Guizerix, former stars of the Paris Opera Ballet who take a very progressive approach to contemporary dance creation. In addition to collaborative work as a dancer and choreographer, he also works closely with the dance analyst Odile Rouquet in the field of research in movement. He is regularly invited to teach at various conservatoires, universities and high schools in France and abroad. In 1990 he became director of the National Centre of Contemporary Dance in Angers and then inspector of dance for the French Ministry of Culture, even later then director of the National Dance School in Marseille. He introduced new curricula at universities and high schools including choreographic analysis and coaching. He is invited by SE.S.TA each year since 1999 to teach in Prague. [ … ]
