BLINK mini unison intense wail
Eyes wide open. Eyes shut. Eyes rolled back. The stare turned inwards. Michelle Moura has taken up a formidable challenge: to write a score for the essentially involuntary movements of eyelids. By paying attention to some-thing as tiny, evanescent and instinctive as a blink. By building up in a magisterial way a study of its hold on faces and bodies.The choreographer is thus standing up for an exploratory, generative approach: creating practices that induce transformations in physical and psychic states. Expressive sensations, postures and movements construct emotional experiences. The challenge is to remain as close as possible to the body, that factory of emotions. Introducing disturbance into a stare. Cultivating phenomena of resonance. With female saints in rapture, shamans, acidic characters from manga, carnivorous plants: the figures embodied by Michelle Moura and Clara Saito swerve between the ecstatic and grotesque. This meteorology of affects both eludes us and draws us into its powerful presence.

The national choreographic centres
Meeting with literature
Collaboration between a choreographer and a writer can lead to the emergence of a large number of combinations. If sometimes the choreographer creates his dance around the work of an author, the writer can also choose dance as the subject of his text.
Dancing bodies
Focus on the variety of bodies offered by contemporary dance and how to show these bodies: from complete nudity to the body completely hidden or covered.
Dance and music
The relationship between music and choreographic works varies throught dance history.
Dance and visual arts
Dance and visual arts have often been inspiring for each other and have influenced each other. This Parcours can not address all the forms of their relations; he only tries to show the importance of plastic creation in some choreographies.
