One Story as in Falling [transmission 2016]

Extrait remonté par le groupe Lili&Ken (Teyran), responsable artistique Céline Rebière, dans le cadre de Danse en amateur et répertoire (2015)

Choreography by Trisha Brown
An extract remodelled by the group Lili&Ken (Teyran), artistic manager Céline Rebière, as part of the “Danse en amateur et repertoire” programme (2015) (a programme created to assist and promote amateur dancing).

The group
The association Lili&Ken, set up in 2004 and based in Teyran (Hérault), is made up of some ten female dancers. These interpreters get together on average once a month for half a day. The group’s motivations focus around the desire to dance together. Research into scenography, video and text is also a regular subject. The association presents its work on the occasion of choreographic events in the region and participates in training courses proposed by the CCN de Montpellier. It is in residency at Teyran MJC. 

The project
The piece One Story as in Falling (1992) has a very special place In Trisha Brown’s immense repertoire. For the first time ever, the American choreographer had accepted to work with Dominique Bagouet’s company at the Centre chorégraphique national de Montpellier. This piece is part of a cycle based on “instinctive knowing” that “works on the search for the most precise gesture performed with restraint, in neutral manner, leading to the creation of characters through abstraction”. In collaboration with Hélène Cathala, who interpreted the show on its creation, the aim is to question in greater depth the subject of writing and the group as from the first ten minutes of the piece. The music was specially created for the occasion from a recording of rehearsals.
