Inviting the Object into Dance with Yohann Trépanier

Have you ever considered the object as a driver of creativity in movement?

Through this training, you will be invited to transcend the aesthetic aspect of scenographies, props, or costumes by integrating them into dance. The object can stimulate movement through its particular relationship with the laws of physics, influenced by its weight, shape, and density.

Moreover, the object already imposes physicality on the human through the nature of its use. By becoming aware of our physical interaction with the object, we can amplify, outplay, and transform movement to generate a dance with this inert partner. It is an invitation to move beyond our view of the object as a limitation and to see it instead as a world filled with possibilities.

→ Workshop intended for movement artists, both emerging and professional.
