Dance workshop with Romane Piffaut

About the workshop: Duration: 1h30 Open for everyone Romane Piffaut will work around a notion at the heart of her research: interdependence. How does a group hold together? What happens between bodies when each person depends on the others to move forward, find balance, find direction? The workshop will approach this question in a concrete way, starting from sensation: weight, support, gaze, breath, awareness of those around us. Through simple instructions and listening games, the group is set in motion: attuning, following, initiating, yielding, slowing down, waiting, gathering, scattering. About the instructor: Romane Piffaut is a dancer and choreographer who graduated from the Conservatoire national supérieur de musique et de danse de Lyon (CNSMD) in 2018. After several years in Morocco, she is now based in France. She has danced for Bouziane Bouteldja, Selim Ben Safia, Khalid Benghrib, Youness Atbane, Maud Le Pladec, Saïd El Haddaji and Capucine Lucas. She founded and directs QUAI6, an artistic platform based in Chalon-sur-Saône. QUAI6 brings together her choreographic work, the Franco-Moroccan transdisciplinary collective TURBA توربا and the dance and performance festival RESPACE. Placing the body at the heart of her research and drawing on collaborations across disciplines, she creates pieces that explore power relations, social norms and bonds of interdependence, questioning the ways we build society together.
