Vlovajobpru is a contemporary dance company created in 2005 by François Chaignaud and Cecilia Bengolea, who are both the choreographers and the performers.
Their aesthetic includes an anthropological approach and develops an idea of the dancing body as a sculpture in movement. Their work reveals both a real interest in queer circles and urban dances, but also the influence of academic dance.
GENDER FRICTION
1. Different kinds of dance within the same choreography
In Devoted (2015), different dances intersect like dancehall, voguing and classical. The crossings made by the nine point dancers are reminiscent of the parades of the “Balls”, which appeared in the queer, black and Hispanic American milieu, where we find voguing. The movement codes are then blurred and the artists question the classic genre: they even go so far as to create an antithetical model.
In Sylphides (2009), the bodies are hidden and oppressed in black latex coveralls that can be reminiscent of those of the SM or even body bags. The title of the work refers to the character in the play La Sylphide, a mythical, graceful and light creature who embodies the allegory of classical dance. The latter is questioned here.
We regularly find a voluntary game on the genre which creates confusion. Indeed, in (M)imosa (2011), the dancer Marlene Monteiro Freitas plays on her androgynous physique and François Chaignaud appears in drag queen. The travesty and the structure in numbers again refer to “Balls”, in particular through the dance voguing which constitutes the main axis of this show.
In Dub love (2013), the genre is blurred. The flesh leotard enhances this effect. We can see it with the androgynous physique of François Chaignaud.
We also find, in this choreography, an ambiguity between the genres danced since the dancers performers on the live music of DJ Dub High Elements.
The universe of parties and urban dances is therefore represented here.
INFLUENCE OF URBAN AND POPULAR DANCES, AN ANTHROPOLOGICAL FOCUS
1. The influence of clubbing
“The link with the club is less in the transposition on the set than in the very design of the piece. We had the chance to create it in several places of residence - London, Paris, Marrakech, New York - and to experience night life in these cities. The challenge is to give an account of this "universal encounter of gestures", and not to quote this or that dance."
Cecilia Bengolea for La Terrasse, 2014
Altered Natives' Say Yes to Another Excess - TWERK
Live music is regularly present in the works of these two artists. Here, the DJs of Butterz Record, go from grime and the dancers, costumed, in fluorescent colors and all kinds of materials, perform a choreography mixing twerk, breakdance, voguing or even classical dance.
We are then immersed in the universe of the party, the stages are often naked as in clubs and night clubs where the dance floor is clear.
2. Voguing
Voguing is a dance from restless communities, linked to social inequalities, violence, but also to energy, to the intensity of urban life.
Le tour du monde des danses urbaines en dix villes
This show is a dance conference. Initially performed by Ana Pi, it is here Dalila Cortes who presents urban dances.
The interpreter speaks, she explains her art. It brings out a complex cartography where voguing, dancehall, pantsula and many others remind us of the history of migrations, exclusion, struggles whose bodies bear witness.
Extract from "Paris is Burning" film by Jennie Livingston (1991), performance and interview by Willi Ninja
Paris is burning (1991) is a documentary film by Jennie Livingston on “Bals”. It constitutes the first video archive of voguing dance. There we find the development of a few categories of parades and houses. In this extract, that of Willi Ninja is presented.

"If there are conservatories and institutions for classical and contemporary dance and arts, many other forms of dance can be learned differently even if they have virtuoso skill levels. In our plays, we try to embrace these different dance techniques, without prioritizing them. "
