Claudia Triozzi

with Martin Barré

Claudia Triozzi trained in classical and contemporary dance in Italy, then moved to Paris in 1985. Alongside her work as a performer with Odile Duboc, Georges Appaix, Alain Buffard or Xavier Le Roy, she conceives and performs her own pieces. While the voice has been one of her preferred means of expression ever since The Family Tree (2002), her performances, installations or videos also focus on the rituals of everyday life, with a coming and going between artistic practice, production processes and transmission. In 2011, she received a dance research and heritage grant from the CN D and began Pour une thèse vivante. She currently teaches at ENSA Paris-Cergy and is an artist in residence at the Laboratoires d’Aubervilliers.
Martin Barré started out by taking an interest in juggling and music. He then naturally turned towards the circus, and trained as an understander, acrobat and trampolinist. In 2002, his encounter with Andy de Groat was decisive. He became his assistant, performer, registrar and lighting creator.

In this workshop, conceived in close collaboration with Martin Barré, as the communicator of the work of the choreographer Andy de Groat, Claudia Triozzi is proposing an apprehension of space thanks to the technique of the tower – thus allowing for a projection towards the exterior, but also from self to self – with the use of rope as a prop in de Groat’s piece Rope Dance Translation (1974). The aim is not to reactivate an archive, but rather to transform it via each participant’s own energy and personality.
