+ Atelier de la danse no. 11: Encountering a work of dance

What does it mean to be a spectator of a work of dance? How can we support them in their relationship with a piece of choreography? Is it a question of educating the viewer? What tools should be made available? This workshop invites Festival audiences to a number of events based around the question of dance mediation practices:

Sunday 26 November

From 4pm to 5pm, then from 7.15pm to 8.15pm

Palais des Festivals – Cannes

An eye workshop bringing together spectators and dance students from the Université Côte d’Azur and the Pôle National Supérieur de Danse Rosella Hightower will be held around Birget, ways to deal, ways to heal by Elle Sofe Sara. The piece will be preceded by a time to sensitively awaken the eye, which will continue after the performance with a sharing of the perceptive experience each participant has gone through.
