La Mandoline, l’œillet et le bambou [remontage 2017]
An extract remodelled by the L’Autre Nous choreographic group (Privas) artistic manager Émilie Blache, as part of the “Danse en amateur et répertoire” programme (2016) (a programme created to assist and promote amateur dancing).
The group
With ages ranging between 11 and 16, the nine female dancers of the L’Autre Nous choreographic group, created in 2009 by Émilie Blache in Privas (Ardèche), attend, alongside classical and jazz technique classes, improvisation, research and composition workshops. They claim a cross-cultural style and enjoy confronting the tension generated by creation. They participated in the “Danse en amateur et repertoire” programme in 2014 as part of a collaboration with the choreographer Josette Baïz.
The project
Tackling the piece La Mandoline, l’œillet et le bambou, choreographed in 1999 by Dominique Rebaud, corresponds to the group’s mixed choreographic approach. Somewhere in between Roaring Twenties inspiration, jazz and hip-hop, the writing of the show, originally intended for men, has been adapted to the group of female participants by its enhancement of femininity. The choreographer’s open-mindedness, the generosity with which she combines styles and universes while respecting every individual, is in complete harmony with the company’s philosophy.
The choreographer
Present on the choreographic scene since the early 1980s, Dominique Rebaud was one of the members of the famous group, Lolita, before creating her own company, Camargo, in 1992. With some twenty shows to her credit, she has extended and invigorated the instruction she received in the early 1980s from the American master, Alwin Nikolais, at the Centre national de danse contemporaine d’Angers. Curious about all dance forms, she regularly collaborates with hip-hop interpreters. In 2014, she inaugurated the Danses ouvertes festival, dedicated to the new forms of representation in participative, immersive and interactive dances.

Zeriahen, Karim
From live stage images to life in images, the director and video artist Karim Zeriahen seems to have found the shortest way. Since the beginning of the 90s, when he worked in close relationship with choreographer Philippe Decouflé, he learned how to put the art of stage in motion, contemporary dance most of the time. Karim Zeriahen then starts a fruitful collaboration with Montpellier based choreographer Mathilde Monnier. Stop, Videlilah, day of night, short films adapted from her stage creations. Each time, Karim Zeriahen's camera takes over the place with movement, the body language is not frozen but magnified. Choreographer Herman Diephuis also joins this gallery of dancing portraits. Documentaries on figures such like Albert Maysles or Hubert de Givenchy and from Joe Dalessandro to Paul Morrissey, he sets a signature, a camera always in action with confidence.
Today the director goes further with a new project and tracks the subtle movements of the body language beyond the physical appearance. A collection of living portraits as unique pièces reminding us of the master portraitists of renaissance. These living natures consists in filming the subject in a certain amount of time, almost still, with signs of respiration, eye blinks, as if it were posing for a painting. They are then displayed on a flat screen with a memory card. With this collection starting, Karim Zeriahen, with his documentary and artist vision, interrogates himself about the virtual world filled with images. By taking a pause, and his models with him, he questions the way we look at things, the way we look at life.

In the 1970s, artists’ drive towards a new classic had been ongoing for more than a half century and several generations had already formed since the Russian Ballets. As the years went by, everyone defended or defends classical dance as innovative, unique, connected to the other arts and the preoccupations of its time.
