Choreographic Workshop with Éric Lamoureux and Héla Fattoumi
Academia de Artes do Estoril
8 - 12 July

The Paulo Ribeiro Company will host a Choreographic Workshop, to be held between July 8th and 12th, with Éric Lamoureux and Héla Fattoumi, directors of VIADANSE – National Centre of Dance of Burgundy and Franche-Comté in Belfort.

For this workshop, the choreographic duo will bring ZAK, the recreation of the large format performance AKZAK, the impatience of an interrelated youth, a dance-music piece, which premiered in September 2020 gathering 12 young dancers from the African continent. For this condensed version, specially recomposed for the participants of the workshop, the choreographic partition is resulting from the incorporation of rhythmic sequences constituting a complex structure, where syncope, rupture, impact, and vivacity, are triggers of the shared imagination. A dance where contrast is underlying within the rhythm, giving rise to a powerful coherence that draws on singularities, revealing the gaps as spaces of “between(s)”, where the real possibility of connection takes place.

Schedule: 10.30 – 17.30
Price: €100
Registration until June 28 through our form
Who can apply: University students and professionals with training and experience in performing arts.

Since the beginning of their company in 1990, Héla Fattoumi and Éric Lamoureux pursued a unique journey that affirms their method of working as co-creators. Their first creation Husaïs, winning the Prize of the Best First Choreography Work in the Bagnolet International Dance Competition in 1990, followed by the trio Après-midi, winning the prize of the New Talents of dance by the SACD (Société des Auteurs et Compositeurs Dramatiques) in 1991 propelled them and brought them international recognition.

More generally, they were driven by the question of otherness, the need to interrogate the limits, the frames, the outlines of identity, and all forms of attributes.
Their concept of “change through exchange” is perfectly embodied in AKZAK – l’impatience d’une jeunesse reliée (2020), which gathers 12 dancers from three Arab and Sub- Saharan African countries in a dialogue with the rhythmic combinations of Xavier Desandre Navarre towards an “identity-relation”.

Since 2015, they manage the National Centre of Dance of Burgundy and Franche-Comté in Belfort (CCN de Bourgogne Franche-Comté à Belfort), which they renamed “VIADANSE”, where they developed a cross-border project with Switzerland and continue to regularly welcome artists from the South, and other countries around the world.
