From April to June 2018, the choreographer Rémy Héritier and the dance researcher Léa Bosshard have asked that the Sadi-Carnot Stadium in Pantin be transformed into a situated studio for research and practice. L'usage du terrain will develop an effective and collaborative body of research consisting as much in an « attempt to exhaust » a site in transition as in an « experiment  in preventive archeology ». Five artists will be asked to contribute to the research based on notions of spatial composition defined by Rémy Héritier's choreographic work : trace, relative space, witness, landmark, threshold. At the conclusion of each of these work periods, the research will be publicly shared and put into perspective in whatever form will seem to be the most judicious at the time. These publications — as a literal means of «making public» — will be the occasion to invite a personality whose knowledge will put into perspective  the result and the process in its entirety. The calendar of these publications is available here.
