The group
Format (Ucel, Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes)
The group of amateur dancers of the Format programme was created in 2011, and today consists of around twenty people. Each year, the group enters into a creative approach for several months, based on times of transmission and discovery of choreographic culture. In 2016, the group staged the piece ”We can be heroes” by Groupenfonction; since then, an amateur creation supervised by professional artists has been launched each year. In 2019, the group participated in the creation of ”Waving”, a choral dance for 60 participants.
The project
A key work of the modern choreographic world, ”The rite of spring” by Vaslav Nijinski has been reinterpreted countless times in the course of the 20th century. To the rugged arrangements of Stravinsky’s composition, Nijinski has choreographed a group ritual with heady rhythms. Based on the records saved – photographs, sketches, Labanotations – Dominique Brun has conducted research work into the gesture and the creative context of the piece, striving to restore the collective dimension and the pioneering aspect of the 1913 choreography.
Brun, Dominique
Dancer and choreographer, Dominique Brun has also been a dance examiner since 1995. She is the co-founder of the La Salamandre dance company and the Quatuor Albrecht Knust. She has worked with the latter on the re-creation of dances from the historical repertoire based on scores created using the Laban system. In 2003, she continued this work with the Ligne de Sorcière association. She is the author of the DVD “Le Faune – un film ou la fabrique de l'archive” (2007). In 2008, she recreated “L'Après-midi d'un faune” (The Afternoon of a faun) for Olivier Dubois's show “Faune(s)”.

Modern Dance and Its American Roots [1900-1930] From Free Dance to Modern Dance

Western classical dance enters the modernity of the 20th century: The Ballets russes and the Ballets suédois
If the 19th century is that of romanticism, the entry into the new century is synonymous of modernity! It was a few decades later that it would be assigned, a posteriori, the name of “neo-classical”.

In all the arts and here especially in dance, the artist sometimes creates to defend a cause, to denounce a fact, to disturb, to shock. Here is a panorama of some "committed" choreographic creations.
