RÉMY HÉRITIER
LINK THE TRACES (INTRODUCTION)
First publication: Saturday 14th April 2018 at 4:00 pm
With the contribution of Julie Perrin, research dancer
Present at the Sadi-Carnot Stadium from Monday 2nd to Saturday 14th April 2018, Rémy Héritier will direct the first publication of the project with a public restitution on Saturday 14th April 2018 at 4:00 pm.
The dancer and choreographer Rémy Héritier will introduce this in situ research while experimenting with an ancient dance that he will share with four other dancers (Nuno Bizarro, Madeleine Fournier, Sonia Garcia, Anne Lenglet). The dance researcher Julie Perrin, invited by Rémy Héritier to put into perspective his work on the Stadium, will complement this publication with her research work on situated choreography and landscape. She is interested in ways of living as a dancer, provoking poetic, social or sensitive situations which call for a redefinition of urban usage, representations of nature, as much as the place of art today.
«An ancient dance is a search process or an involution towards a primary background, be that historical or genealogical, of our actual dances and our corporal habits. How can we be danced by dances that preceded the invention of the word «dance»? This research gravitates around the idea of the tonic background that we owe to Hubert Godard. If the tonic background is thought of in terms of a postural and emotional gestural
background, an ancient dance would be a means of revealing the dancer's archaic background as coming from his or her own corporal history».

Julie Perrin is a university lecturer at the Dance Departement at the University Paris 8 Saint-Denis and member of the Laboratory Discourses and Dance Practices (MUSIDANSE-EA 1572). She is at present junior member at the Institut Universitaire de France (2016-2021) and is developing research entitled Choreography and Landscape. From 2016-2019, with Myriam Gourfink and Yvane Chapuis she is conducting a research project supported by La Manufacture – Haute Ecole spécialisée de Suisse Occidentale in Lausanne, called : Choreographic composition today. What tools for what artistic position? Her research involves knowledge relevant to contemporary dance from 1950 in the United States and in France, and in particular on spatiality in dance and situated choreography.
It is concerned with relational aesthetics and is deployed through the analysis of works while questioning perceptive processes, the notion of the work of art, compositional modes, or the work of a dancer in a creative or transmitive situation. This survey on contemporary creation (on the works as well as discourse and artists' choreographic writings) has generated many publications, amongst which are: Projet de la matière – Odile Duboc : Memory of a choreographic work (CND/les Presses du Réel, 2007) ; Stories and readings : Trisha Brown/Emmanuelle Huynh (coedition. E. Huynh and D. Luccioni, Les presses du réel, 2012) ; Odile Duboc, Les mots de la matière. Writings by the choreographer (coedition F. Michel, Les Solitaires Intempestifs, 2012) ; Composition in dance today. Enquiry into 10 choreographers (coedition Y. Chapuis, M. Gourfink, La Manufacture, to be published in 2019). The analysis in spatiality in dance has developped along two complementary axes : the first concerns scenic spatiality and questions theatrical space as a vision system through ways of focusing as proposed by choreography This led to a book entitled Figures of focus. Five essays on dance spatiality (Les Presses du Réel, 2012). In parallel, this research on spatiality is deployed on a second axis through the analysis of choreographic projects accompanied outside theatres. This led to the publication of numerous articles on dancing away from the stage or situated choreography, in other words a choreography conceived with, or for, a particular place. http://www.danse.univ-paris8.fr
