In Vivo Danse

In the frame of ManiFeste, an international festival and multidisciplinary academy organized by IRCAM and Spectacles vivants/Centre Pompidou in Paris, Thomas Hauert lead with Thierry De Mey a two-weeks research on the relationship between dance and music. The five dancers of ZOO worked on Salvatore Sciarrino’s Tre Notturni Brillanti, as well as with four young composers. Translating a complex musical piece for a solo instrument in a collective body of dancers, associating a choreographic activity that includes an element of improvisation and the realization of a musical work with electronics, inventing work methods that communicate between the stage and the studio: these are a few issues this In Vivo Danse project brought to light.
