Thank you very much for your message on LSC.
I am a french choreographer living and working in Paris, France.
I would be more than happy to present to you the type of work we do here (you can
check the K. Danse company at http://www.metafort.com/kdanse/).
For your information: the company will be performing in Paris between September 30th
and October 10th, two pieces involving "dance and tech": "Touch" (co conceived with
video artist Cathy Vogan, originally from Australia) and a short preview of
"Regards", the company's latest piece.
The performing space is called Espace Kiron (Paris, 11th arrondissement).
I will also be involved, from October 5th to 25th, in a creative and experimental
workshop with Isabelle Choini¸re, choreographer from Montreal, at the Center for New
Media (Canadian Cultural Center of Paris): we attempt to integrate movement to sound
and image interactivity together with "on line" transmission and tele-presence.
And quite a lot more...
If you come to Paris at this time I will connect you with all of this happening, and
other choreographers' work in the french capital, and in other places in France.
We are also doing some very interesting work in collaboration with an ingineering
school (INSA) of Rouen and , in the near future, with the IRIT (Research Center on
Computer Sciences) of Toulouse.
Quite a lot to tell you about!
Looking forward to hear again from you.
Best regards.
