About the workshop:
In this workshop, the company tries, together with the participants, to develop an original creativity, asking themselves what the power of a meaningful vocabulary is and what their responsibility is as artists.
Along the way they come across words that are danced instead of spoken, if they remain stuck in the depths of the throat. Words that liberate themselves and accompany the body in a revolt of hope. An energy of life, of human encounters, and also of trial and error will be part of the search, always looking for stability.
Together with the participants, the body will be approached politically in the various creations of the company.
Faso Danse Théâtre is committed to the development of a powerful contemporary dance, anchored in emotion, but always full of reflection and hope.
For the company, dance is a commitment, an urgency and a necessity. It is the basis of all the work of Serge Aimé Coulibaly – both in his creations and in his workshops.
