From the organizer:

Kim Sanh Châu and Louise Michel Jackson are proposing a workshop based on their respective and collective practice – mixing playfulness, laughter, reflection, sensations. A first part will be dedicated to physical training, including mobilization, fluidity, floor work and energy accumulation. We will use the generated tiredness as a source of sensorial and somatic experiences, with precise intentions and empathic sensations. A third part will be focused on sharing Louise Michel and Kim Sanh’s current practices on voice/vibration and use of lights as a poetic source of movement.

Artists

Kim Sanh Châu is a choreographer-dancer and filmmaker. Her practice comprises choreographic installation and video making – with an interest for the emergence of imaginary landscapes through the body – distilled from far away dreams, imaginary memories and psychotropic reminiscences. Her creations have been presented locally at l’Arsenal, Tangente, MAI, l’Écart, Accès Asie; as well as internationally at SIDance (Korea) and Krossing-Over (Vietnam), among others.

Louise Michel Jackson spent most of her life dancing for renowned Canadian and international choreographers, most notably Dana Gingras (CA) and Sidi Larbi Cherkaoui (BE). She developed her own pieces starting in 2015 with STROKE (co-created with Benaji Mohamed), which they presented in Canada, France and Belgium. Her latest creation, Bright Worm, evolves in a low-fi universe of abyssal colors and iridescent surfaces, where she explores bioluminescence and the need for humans to generate their own light.
