Dance, if you want to enter my country!
At a time when the strengthening of security measures has led to increasingly irrational situations, Michikazu Matsune takes a critical view of the current outlandishness of our control-driven societies. The structure of his performance was built up from the story of Abdur Rahim Jackson, the Afro-American dancer, and member of the Alvin Ailey American Dance Theater, who was forced in 2008 to demonstrate his profession at Tel Aviv airport, before being able to enter the territory of Israel. The frontier in an airport, a sensitive site for surveillance systems, thus becomes the scene for a distinctly “spectacular” discrimination, as the symbol of a paranoia which has now become institutionalised. Between a dance performance and a theatre of objects, bringing in video projections, photographs and narrative elements, Dance, if you want to enter my country! treats this headlong rush into absurdity with a critical gaze, opposing the lay of a free inventiveness to the repressive rationales of a globalised planet.
Matsune, Michikazu
Born in Kobe (Japan), Michikazu Matsune lives and works in Vienna (Austria). At the crossroads between choreography and performance, his work examines the relationships between identity and globalisation, subject and object, actions and language, or the public and the private. He has developed an associated body of work in visual art through which he manages shifts between the stage and exhibition forms. Since 2012, he has been teaching dance at the Inter-University Centre for Dance in Berlin and the Salzburg Experimental Academy of Dance.
Centre national de la danse, Réalisation
Since 2001, the National Center for Dance (CND) has been making recordings of its shows and educational programming and has created resources from these filmed performances (interviews, danced conferences, meetings with artists, demonstrations, major lessons, symposia specialized, thematic arrangements, etc.).

Les racines de la diversité en danse contemporaine

Les racines de la diversité en danse contemporaine
Exposition virtuelle
La danse contemporaine désigne des courants artistiques succédant à la danse moderne. Mais, il est difficile de cerner précisément cette expression, tant elle inclus différentes pratiques et esthétiques. Aujourd’hui, le mot « contemporain » intègre des danses actuelles, urbaines, théâtrales, de différentes origines géographiques ou «culturelles». Pour comprendre et illustrer la notion de diversité dans la danse contemporaine, nous utiliserons divers créations de la collection du Centre chorégraphique ou de la Compagnie James Carlès Danse &Co, qui a mis cette idée au cœur de ses préoccupations.

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.
