Ritmo Jondo [transmission 2017]

Extrait remonté par Décor Mobile (Noisiel), responsable artistique Caroline Baudouin, dans le cadre de Danse en amateur et répertoire (2016)

An extract remodelled by Décor Mobile (Noisiel), artistic manager Caroline Baudouin, as part of the “Danse en amateur et repertoire” programme (2016) (a programme created to assist and promote amateur dancing).

The group
Directed by Caroline Baudoin, this group made up of dancers-students, adults, actors, men and women aged 18 to 45, enjoy taking on creations for the experience of performing on stage. Based in Noisiel, the group has already participated in the festivals Entrez dans la danse, in Torcy, and Traverses 92. It was also selected for the “Danse en amateur et repertoire” programme in 2009 with an extract from the show Antiquités, choreographed by Georges Appaix. It regularly presents performances in media libraries, parks, etc. 

The project
The group’s aim, by taking on Doris Humphrey’s Ritmo Jondo (1953), a piece inspired by songs and dances of Andalusian gypsies, is to delve into the relationships between men and women using Humphrey’s specific body technique. Equally, the desire to discover a “strong symbolic universe, a rigorous work on space, a precise relationship with music, and an original choreographic writing” is at the heart of the transmission of this piece carried out by the notator Sophie Jacotot. 

Amateur Dance and Repertory is a companion program to amateur practice beyond the dance class and the technical learning phase. Intended for groups of amateur dancers, it opens a space of sharing for those who wish to deepen a practice and a knowledge of the dance in relation to its history.
