CREATION

MÉCANIQUE DE L’INVISIBLE

Choreographic creation for 3 dancers and 1 musician / 2023 – 30′

Between « spin » and orbit, particles and forces of the universe, Mécanique de l’invisible revolves around the « discret structure » of the matter, inventing itself in a reinterpretation of particles in motion. With the spin as core and key element, the spiral – organic or abstract, works its logic onto the dancers’ motion and interactions. In a circular continuum, the matter expands, reacts, organizes to orchestrate its own mechanics… Hypnotic play of scales drawing on quantum physics and cosmology, this creation invites to vibrate and travel with(in) the human body shifting from matter to shape, abstraction to erotism, mother to child, creation to creator.

DAIVAS

Choreographic research for dancers in vocational training at Studio Heart Point | Dominique Lesdema, Paris / 2018 – 20′

Daivas is a term of Persian origin that refers to idols, false gods, demons, and by extension to the fury of death, destructive power and chaos. A creation inspired by the pictural universe of Marjane Satrapi and authors of Middle Eastern cinema (Iran, Lebanon, Syria) that pays tribute to women in armed conflicts.

SLIM PICKINGS

Outdoor choreographic research for 1 dancer and a box of chalks / 2016 – 15′

Sometimes I wonder what keeps me ticking / Working hard everyday all day / I am sick and tired of these slave ways / And on pay days all we reap is slim pickings / We’re scratching the bottom of the barrel like some chicken / Kicking up gravel desperate for a fix and halfdead / Fed up with this affliction / So real almost feels like a piece of fiction / Big shots just strutting / Finger-licking / Watching while we be picking cotton candy on the outside / And inside it’s rotten / Fancy and swelt but always melts down to nothing / Now that’s my definition of hell / Corrupting a life’s just trouble and strife / 24-7 not just from 9 to 5 / Around the clock on the spot cause we got to survive all the time / Can not even be slipping / Working hard everyday all day / I am sick and tired of these slave ways / And on pay days all we reap is slim pickings

SKINS

Choreographic research for dancers in vocational training at Studio Heart Point | Dominique Lesdema, Paris / 2015 – 20′

The skin of an adult weighs between 3.5 and 4.5kg. Its total surface area can be up to 2m2. Its thickness varies between 1.5 and 4mm, depending on the part of the body being examined. The skin separates the indie from the outside, it is an opening to the world, it envelops end embodies the person, it is a unique landscape to which only the individual holds the key…
