Corps exquis

Corps Exquis : Exquisite Bodies updates the original version of Exquisite Corpse created by Joanne Leighton in collaboration with 57 of her peers in 2012. Recreated in the form of three converging solos, the choreographer revisits the traces of a wide range of material with its contrasts and continuities. Building on the strength of the extraordinary content, three stunning dancers explore the rich landscape created by a vast diversity of movement material and contemporary choreographic ideas. Through this journey, both together and apart, they reactivate a choreographic game that questions the progression of material from one body to another.

This piece is accompanied by Exquisite Traces, an installation of documents and materials from the process of Corps Exquis, and Exquisite Preview, performed before the work to enable the public to enter into the heart of the extraordinary process of making this piece.
