Act
To act means: behave / fulfill a function / take action / do / perform / play a role / move. Online petitions, comment functions, the social net, web 2.0, Twitter – while the technical possibilities and social prerequisites for global communication are being refined and perfected, the real protagonist is re-conquering the political stage: the body.
Sometimes a dictatorship is the target, then it’s urban social protest – the scenes are similar! Powerful moments! Powerful, because they show a truth: we don’t have to live with everything, we don’t always have to lower our heads; we can stand tall. Provocative physical presence as a political act of not agreeing with the status quo demonstrates what power street culture has: it demands social movement.
The body’s massive return to the political stage is our motivation to artistically investigate the relationship between the body and politics, the body and protest, rebellion and revolution. How do people in protest prevail with their interests, and what artistic/ choreographic practice is the outcome?
Act is the result of this research.

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”.
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.
The Dance Biennial Défilé
CHRISTIAN & FRANÇOIS BEN AÏM – VITAL MOMENTUM
[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.
