Laboratoire rythmique I
With Bobby Thompson 

When: Monday, Wednesday and Friday from 2:45 p.m. to 4:30 p.m.
Description: Depending on the duration, a lot or little can happen from one moment to the next... One thing is for certain: time goes on, continues, and can even be suspended...
It’s the rhythm of life.

This laboratory consists in making our rhythmic sense more aware, refined and sensitive.By listening to, reproducing and creating various rhythmic phrases and patterns, we will develop a better understanding of time and space using movement. We will enhance the nuances in the performance of movements while being aware of our environment, whether alone or in groups. These skills are necessary – indeed essential – for an accurate and sensitive performance of choreographic works.
