Danse savante - danse populaire
The ancestral separation between scholarly dance and popular dance continues to the point that "dancing" and "knowing how to dance" still designate two different activities today: popular dance practiced by all, and scholarly dance reserved for professionals only. Contemporary dance has echoed this cleavage, even if this opposition tends to diminish recently, some choreographers joining the scientist to the popular to invent a new form of dance.
This is the case of Cecilia Bengolea and François Chaignaud, who together do not hesitate to mix styles - Jamaican dub, dance on pointe, expressionist dance, twerk, house...

Chaignaud, François
After graduating in 2003 from the CNSMD of Paris, François Chaignaud has collaborated with numerous choreographers (Alain Buffard, Boris Charmatz, Emmanuelle Huynh, Gilles Jobin). Since the creation of his first piece in 2004, he has taken up a multiplicity of roles as dancer, choreographer, singer, actor, historian, and cabaret artist. His work—which weaves the aspiration for dance of a comprehensive expression delving into the porosity and potential of bodies—is early on characterized by the singing and dance articulation (Думи мої, 2013). Degreed in history, he nourishes his art with in-depth research. The historical depth reflects in his own pieces as well as in the numerous collaborations he has done, and continues to do, including with cabaret artist Jérôme Marin (Sous l’ombrelle, 2011), Marie Caroline Hominal (Duchesses, 2009), and visual artist Théo Mercier (Radio Vinci Park, 2016). Between 2005 and 2016, Chaignaud creates with Cecilia Bangolea a series of noteworthy shows that are showed worldwide, including Pâquerettes (2005–2008), Sylphides (2009), (M)IMOSA (co-written with and performed with Trajal Harrell and Marlene Monteiro Freitas, 2011), Dub Love (2013), and DFS (2016). In 2021, he founds the organization mandorle productions, which supports his desire to follow a line of artistic creation marked by numerous collaborations. With Nina Laisné, he creates Romances inciertos, un autre Orlando (2017). The piece is presented at the 72nd edition of the Festival d’Avignon and brings together signing and dance around androgynous figures drawn from Spanish Baroque folklore. They are currently conducting research around partner dances in South America.

Bengolea, Cecilia
Born in Buenos-Aires, Cecilia Bengolea studied urban dance forms, before to pursue studies in anthropological dances with Eugenio Barba, as well as Philosophy and Art History at the University of Buenos Aires. In 2001, she moved to Paris and followed the training Ex.e.r.c.e. directed by Mathilde Monnier in Montpellier.
In dialogue with Levi Strauss’s œuvre Tristes tropiques, Cecilia Bengolea co-directed two videos in 2011: La Beauté (tôt) vouée à se défaire with Donatien Veisman and Cri de Pilaga with Juliette Bineau. As a dancer, choreographer and performance artist, Cecilia Bengolea perceives dance and performance as ‘animated sculpture’ and welcomes the fact that these forms allow her to become both ‘object and subject at the same time’.
In 2016, Bengolea was commissioned by the ICA for London Art Night 2016 to present a video installation into holographic mirrors at Covent Garden Market and perform an outdoor participatory dancehall practice in the historical West Piazza of Covent Garden with ballerina Erika Miyauichi and dancehall artist Damion BG Dancerz. Bengolea also works with artists Dominique Gonzalez-Foerster, Monika Gintersdorfer, Knut Klassen as well as Jamaican Dancehall artists such as Joan Mendy and Damion BG dancerz. In collaboration with Jeremy Deller (UK), she co-directed the film RythmAssPoetry (rap) commissioned by the Biennale de Lyon 2015. Their second film, Bombom’s Dream, shot in Jamaica in 2016, commissioned by Hayward Gallery London and Sao Paulo Biennial 2016.
In spring 2018 Cecilia Bengolea created Insect Train with Florentina Holzinger, a collaborative piece devoted to the interface between nature and artifice in the human body.

Exposition Corps Rebelles
The exhibition Corps rebelles invited the public to discover contemporary dance. She presented the different approaches of the dancing body, illustrated by emblematic choreographies.
The question of interpretation was also at the heart of the exhibition with eight versions of The Rite of Spring created by eight great choreographers. The exhibition continued by treating notation as a tool for memorizing and transmitting a gesture.
