Pour toi

A woman slowly crosses a garden, heading to a house where a percussionist waits for her.Then starts a danced ritual full of melancholia.

A woman slowly crosses a garden to reach a house where she finds a percussionist waiting for her. A danced ritual imbued with melancholy then begins. While the editing is nervous, keeping pace with the beat of the percussions, the framework distances itself with the physicality of the movement. A solo inspired by African gestural technique and rhythms.

This collection presents the five prize winning videos of the competition “Danse sur Image”, open to all directors and choreographers, for the writing of dance films of less than 5 minutes.

The teams of the 5 winning works received technical and financial support to help them carry out their project. These works were then disseminated internationally.

Launched by Arcanal for the 1989 Montpellier Danse Festival, this competition aimed at strengthening the partnership between directors and choreographers, in order to encourage the production of danced films.

The collection understands the following videos : L’adieu, La Boqueria, Nuit d’été, Pour toi, Volte-face.
