Faits et gestes, voir ci-après [transmission 2016]
Extrait remonté par le groupe Inseme.DA – Association Vialuni (Ajaccio), responsable artistique Michèle Ettori, dans le cadre de Danse en amateur et répertoire (2015)
Choreography by Bernard Glandier
An extract remodelled by the group Inseme.DA* (Ajaccio), artistic manager Michèle Ettori, as part of the “Danse en amateur et repertoire” programme (2015) (a programme created to assist and promote amateur dancing).
* Association Vialuni.
The group
Created in 2004 in Ajaccio (Corsica) by the dancer and choreographer Michèle Ettori, the group Inseme.DA consists today of five dancers, adults and teenagers, all contemporary dance “fanatics”. The association proposes a variety of actions: training courses, workshops, specific creations for the group, which seeks to share contemporary art culture in general. As from this year, Inseme.DA has at its disposal Michèle Ettori’s dance studio, located on the heights of Ajaccio, a professional space specially fitted out for dance.
The project
Working closely with the dancer Juan Manuel Vicente, who collaborated with Bernard Glandier from 1995 to 2001, the group chose an extract from the show Faits et gestes, voir ci-après (1998). This is a quartet entitled Portraits, which has been adapted for the five female dancers and allows each one to enhance her singularity through dance, just as Bernard Glandier did originally for his company’s interpreters. He had asked each one to create sequences of steps according to their personality and thus created portraits read behind the lines.
The choreographer
The choreographer Bernard Glandier (1957-2000), an interpreter for Dominique Bagouet, Susan Buirge, Catherine Diverrès and Bernardo Montet, created his first works in the early 1980s as part of the Centre chorégraphique national de Montpellier – compagnie Bagouet. He founded his company Alentours/Bernard Glandier in 1995 before settling in Alès two years later. His best-known shows include: the show for young audiences Le Roi des Bons (1989) as well as Pouce (1995), Faits et gestes (1997), Autre monde (1998), and Quelque tour de danse (2000). His archives are filed at the Institut Mémoires de l’édition contemporaine (Institute for contemporary publishing archives) (Abbaye d’Ardenne, Saint-Germain la Blanche-Herbe).
