Non-professional dance and the repertoire

19th national event

13 > 15.06.26

Agora, cité internationale de la Danse, Montpellier, Place Max Rouquette, Montpellier, Esplanade Charles-de-Gaulle, Montpellier

Nine groups will present their work exploring choreographic universes and physical imaginations that they themselves have chosen. On stage and in public spaces, they will unfold a contrasting fresco of moods, situations, emotions, and danced actions, resonating in turn to a pop song, Arab-Andalusian music, an electro track, deep rhythmic drum beats, or soberly dialoguing with the earthy lyricism of a jazz saxophone.

With the groups Feedback (Érection, Pierre Rigal, 2003); Inventer sa danse (Necesito, piece for Grenade, Dominique Bagouet, 1991); Ar(t)icoche (Twin Paradox, Mathilde Monnier, 2012); Compagnie Ballet Bross’ (D’après une histoire vraie, Christian Rizzo, 2013); Atelier 21 (Parlez-moi d’amour, Odile Azagury, 2000); Tribu (99 duos, Jean-Claude Gallotta, 2002); À L’abordage (Pareiškiu-Brandir, Alban Richard, 2018); A Corps Danse (Fragments, Joëlle Bouvier and Régis Obadia, 2000); Géographie variable (Five Colours, Elsa Wolliaston, 1987).
