Jordi Galí
& Vânia Vaneau

Born in Barcelona, Jordi Galí trained in contemporary dance and studied philosophy. He has performed with Wim Vandekeybus, Anne Teresa De Keersmaeker and Maguy Marin, among others. At the same time, he has been developing his own creative work, which led him in 2007 to create Arrangement Provisoire, which he has been co-directing with Vânia Vaneau since 2012. Jordi Galí He was associate artist at Ramdam from 2011 to 2014, at Le Pacifique CDCN in Grenoble from 2016 to 2020, and at ICI-CCN in Montpellier from 2020 to 2022. His work explores the relationship between body and material, gesture and object, and is performed mainly in public spaces. Often monumental and ephemeral constructions, her pieces open up a singular temporality in the environment, whether urban or landscaped, offering residents-users-spectators new perceptions of an everyday context.

After training in dance in Brazil and at PARTS in Brussels, Vânia Vaneau obtained a degree in Psychology at the University of Paris 8 and trained in Body Mind Centering. She has performed with Wim Vandekeybus, Maguy Marin, Yoann Bourgeois and Christian Rizzo. Vânia Vaneau's choreographic research links physical work with the plastic aspect of making and manipulating materials, costumes and scenographic objects, considered on stage as actors in their own right. She is interested in the multiple physical and psychic layers that make up the human body, in a relationship of continuity with the natural and cultural environment in which it evolves and which surrounds it. She explores the boundaries between the inside and outside of the body, visible and invisible materials, and creates choreographies composed of sensory and imagined plasticity. Between 2014 and 2024 she was an associate artist at the Pacifique CDCN in Grenoble, at ICI-CCN in Montpellier and artist in residence at the CN D Lyon.

Jordi Galí and Vânia Vaneau have been associated artists with Scènes Croisées en Lozère since 2020.

Body and Matter: dance of relationships

‘Choreographic art explores, experiments with and shares relationships as a creative medium. Relationships with oneself, with others and with the world weave unbreakable bonds. In our creative processes and in our transmission practices, material in a variety of states - body, light, raw materials, costumes, landscape, etc. - plays a predominant role. The workshop at Camping will be an opportunity to experience the choreographic potential of various media and practices such as drawing, writing and composition, as well as the manipulation of tangible materials (clay, wood, fabric, rope, etc.) and invisible materials (biographical, imaginary, narrative, etc.) as points of departure and bridges towards the practice of gesture and dance movement’.
