Hors jeux
[Off-sides]
“Hors jeux”, by the choreographer Iffra Dia, is the danced self-portrait of a naive character, someone on the fringes of society, who challenges norms and tries to find his own way in the world: an intimate solo, an invitation to the right to dream, to explore the imaginary, to widen your horizons so as not to keep your feet on the ground and put down roots.
Iffra Dia has gained experience in contemporary, jazz and African dance, while also rubbing shoulders with the masters of hip-hop dance. His sensitive style of dancing has retained all the virtuosity of hip-hop.
Show presented in partnership with the town of Pantin and Moov'n Aktion as part of the Festival Danse Hiphop Tanz

Dia, Iffra
Of Mauritanian and Spanish descent, Iffra Dia joined the Black Blanc Beur company where he took his first steps in the dance world and acquired the tools and methods that enable him to transmit his passion.
He broadened his horizons by exploring contemporary, African and jazz dance, while also rubbing shoulders with the masters of hip-hop dance. This desire to decompartmentalize different styles and genres is at the heart of his approach to dancing and allows him to create his own choreographic language. Today he passes on his knowledge of a rich culture of various trends: graffitti art, dance, but also a new mastery of sound and music.

The committed artist
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.

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.
Dance and performance
Here is a sample of extracts illustrating burlesque figures in Performances.

The Dance Biennale

Dance and visual arts

Arts of motion
Generally associated with circus arts, here is a Journey that will take you on a stroll through different artists from this world.
Contemporary techniques
