IMPROVISATION

Julie Nioche propose to share the practices she go through to be available for creative work and adaptation in transmission and project work engaged in fields other than that of culture.

The workshops are an opportunity to share certain creative processes, all based on improvisation.

These practices lead to improvisation, based on your imaginations, stimulated by encounters either through touch, writing or speaking. The idea is to move back and forth between intimate and public spaces, to develop our ability to listen to words and dances.

The workshop will also be an opportunity to share your own practices and pool our experiences around the projects we do in social environments. Julie would like to share tools for developing inter-knowledge and mutual support between artists to continue to create corporally and socially committed artistic projects.

It's important for her to know the needs and desires of the people in the class, and she will adapt her practices to suit the group and the day.

The daily  practices Julie go through regularly are :

- Yoga crossed with anatomical details from osteopathy. Series of postures in movement to develop awareness of our supports, alignments, twists and orientation in space, precision in limb placement... Muscular strengthening to awaken our structures and stretching of muscle chains often overused to maintain flexibility and adaptability.

- A variety of touch practices from different techniques such as osteopathy, Thai and Kalari massage.

- Visualization to enter a modified state of consciousness and stimulate improvisations.

- Game-like practices to work on dissociation, the accumulation of instructions, etc.

- Exchanges with other artists to nourish transmissions.

 
Workshopen sker i samarbete mellan Dansalliansen RTV och Danscentrum Väst
Samtalet sker i samverkan med Kulturakademin.

Julie Nioche is a choreographer, dancer and osteopath. Since 2000, she has been combining theory and practice around the body's knowledge to develop her creative processes and research. She combines somatic practices and dance improvisation to develop dances in which each individual is the author of his or her own gestures.

She founded A.I.M.E., an atypical "dance company", defined from the outset (2007) as both the bearer of her own artistic projects, and an incubator for collective research and creative projects focused on social issues. 

A.I.M.E. has developed a creative center and a resource center for socially and physically engaged artistic projects (PasKe). A.I.M.E. believes in a form of dance that sees gesture and sensibility as shared knowledge, destined to circulate through the bodies of all and sow the seeds of emancipation. At the heart of her work is a search for the invention of a non-ordinary, powerful body, which, even when constrained or made vulnerable, becomes a repository of dreamlike images and imaginary creatures.
