Le projet

”The Wave”, created in Germany in 1930 by Albrecht Knust, one of Rudolf Laban’s earliest collaborators, is a choral dance for sixty-four people. Through waves, ebbs and flows, and ripples, this dance invites us to take part in a collective experience of interrelated  listening and tuning by using simple movements such as walking, skipping and pliés. 

The performers of the national encounter worked in two different groups to perform La Vague.
