Legendary

2015 creation inspired by “The Wizard of Oz ” by Lyman Frank Baum, with 35 students and classes of the APF / IEM The Marrière and Port Boyer School of Nantes.

A creation with 35 students from the APF/IEM La Marrière (French Association for the Paralysed and Institute for Motor Skills Development) and the Port Boyer School in Nantes. The story of the Wizard of Oz is a fabulous pretext to interpret through dance and the bodies of young children the variety of physical materials. The scarecrows are wobbly on their legs, the robots are stiffness incarnate, the winged monkeys work on space. With the witches we initiate the gesture of fear, of power, melting and decay, while the fairies propose floating, restraint of gesture, magic, thickness as well as the tornado, spirals, falls and rebounds. The Munchkins hop around like champagne bubbles. Each of the colourful inhabitants can have a special identity and move around in their mode of civilisation. The wizard also has a special material to find with the children. The choreography written is the one that the children have imagined.
