Le Petit B
With the visual artist Émilie Faïf, the choreographer has imagined a space in transformation, made of materials, shapes and sounds. Immersed in this landscape, the dancers modify it with gentle gestures, almost as if by magic. The children can choose at any moment to enter, play, touch, smell, leave... A sensory adventure carried by the energy of Ravel's Bolero.

Muzac, Marion
Marion Muzac studied ballet at the Conservatory, then earned a university degree in commerce and communication.
She studied Merce Cunningham’s technique in New York, then went on to the Choreographic Development Centre in Toulouse. She taught contemporary dance at the Toulouse Conservatory, the CDC and the ISDAT advanced school of the arts.
In September 2013, she was named dance department head of the Conservatory of Toulouse. Since 2001, she has juggled her educational work with choreographic projects. She has collaborated with visual artists and theater and opera directors, and worked with young actors from L’Atelier at the Théâtre National de Toulouse.
In 2008, she created the dance duet and music for “Hero Hero,” which is regularly presented in elementary, middle and high schools.
In 2010, she and artist Rachel Garcia co-directed “Le sucre du printemps,” a choreographic project for 27 collaborating young dancers. After Toulouse, “Le sucre du printemps” was recreated in Düsseldorf; at the Chaillot National Theatre in Paris; in collaboration with the Pantin National Dance Center; and most recently in Ramallah, Palestine.
Following that work, she and filmmaker Sophie Laloy codirected the documentary film « 17 Printemps », on the initiatory journey of a 17-year-old dancer crossing the threshold into the adult world by way of the dance.

LATITUDES CONTEMPORAINES
40 years of dance and music
The “Nouvelle Danse Française” of the 1980s
In France, at the beginning of the 1980s, a generation of young people took possession of the dancing body to sketch out their unique take on the world.
Meeting with literature
Collaboration between a choreographer and a writer can lead to the emergence of a large number of combinations. If sometimes the choreographer creates his dance around the work of an author, the writer can also choose dance as the subject of his text.
Maison de la danse

Dance and music
The relationship between music and choreographic works varies throught dance history.
Dance and visual arts
Dance and visual arts have often been inspiring for each other and have influenced each other. This Parcours can not address all the forms of their relations; he only tries to show the importance of plastic creation in some choreographies.
