Movement and cinematographic writing: a new choreographic language

The workshop offers the opportunity to explore the repertoire and work of choreographer and director Gisèle Vienne. The workshop uses material from the piece Crowd, which was developed for fifteen dancers. Crowd reveals the emotional worlds of a party crowd that gradually fills the stage space. Using slow motion and tableaux vivants, the performance coolly and precisely dissects the revelers as they dissolve into ecstasy. Inspired by metropolitan club culture, techno, rave and punk, the result is an image somewhere between dream and reality. In the wake of tracks from classics of 1990s rave culture, Crowd brings a linear perception of time to a standstill. The work moves in a very dynamic way between immobility, tableau vivant, floating and interrupted movement as well as its flowing, even precipitous development. The participants are given an insight into the movement material of the piece, which moves in a very dynamic way between immobility, floating and aborted movement as well as its flowing, even rushed development.
