La nuit les chats le gris_Clubbing
A world of pleasure, of irrationality and recklessness. A world of images, lights, exhibitions, appearances.
The nightclub’s life and its mythology, sound, crystals, sex, alcohol and drugs and chatting up.
"Julie Dossavi brings in almost a sociologic look to the nightlife, she dissects its soul". Laurence Rollet, La Filature Mulhouse

Dossavi, Julie
From an athletic background (UEREPS with an option in contemporary dance), Julie Dossavi dances with Jean-François Duroure and Philippe Decouflé. She is an interpreter and assistant-choreographer with Kettly Noël, a dancer-interpreter with Salia Ni Seydou and Kader Attou, as well as collaborating in fashion shows (Jean-Paul Gaultier). In 2003, she created the Julie Dossavi company in Poitiers, where she developed a contemporary dance that is highly personal, hybrid and robust, sensual and plastic, all in variations of forms and rhythms. She composes intimate shows around women’s status and the phenomenon of dual culture.
Alongside choreographic works for several interpreters, Julie Dossavi explores the form of the solo danced on a stage shared with musicians or singers. Invited by the event Le Vif du sujet in 2004, she asked Daniel Larrieu to compose a solo for her, “À chaque vent le papillon se déplace sur le saule”, presented by the festivals Montpellier Danse and Paris Quartier d’été. In 2012, she presented “Cross & Share” at the Rencontres Chorégraphiques Internationales de Seine-Saint-Denis, where she explored a third path, that of co-composition and co-writing, uniting around a principle of shared creation, famous authors, choreographers, musicians and directors: Thomas Lebrun, Serge Aimé Coulibaly, Hamid Ben Mahi and Michel Schweizer.

LATITUDES CONTEMPORAINES
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.
[1970-2018] Neoclassical developments: They spread worldwide, as well as having multiple repertoires and dialogues with contemporary dance.
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.
