How singular bodies are writing
a new chapter in contemporary dance

For several decades, bodies that are considered “different” and do not conform to dominant aesthetic norms have been challenging the vocabulary of contemporary dance. Driven by various forms of otherness, these unique bodies are redefining the codes of choreographic creation and opening up new avenues in the history of art. To mark the 20th anniversary of the 2005 law on equal rights and opportunities for people with disabilities, the National Center for Adapted Creation (CNCA) is organizing a series of discussions, including this meeting, which aims to assess the contributions of new forms of body expression, identify the obstacles that still exist, and highlight the changes underway in the field of choreography.
