Lecture/Course

My lecture and my classes are the expression of my desire to share my passion for this festive, gathering, and powerful, dance; and of my will to pass this choreographic legacy.

Audience: schools, dance companies, clubs, associations...

Lecture

Checking what I intuitively discovered when I was dancing the Cancan, I undertook historical research about its origins to understand it in an intellectual way.
Interested by the social, political, and cultural background of this dance, I studied a plethora of written, iconographical, audio, and audiovisual documents. I fell in love with this dance from the people whom were its creators in 1830.

Themes:

• Perspective of the Cancan in its social, cultural, and political context from its birth to today.
• Presentation of its steps and its figures.
• Tribute to its mythical female and male dancers.
• The Cancan as an inspiration for many artists.

How it works:
The lecture lasts around 1 hour with the possibility of having one or several dancers showing figures.
