For this workshop, Hélène Cathala will work from a release technique basis, reaffirming natural movement facility, range of motion and bodily dynamics. We will focus on sharing a Body Mind Centering approach to movement, then to try to explore the capacity of each dancer to use this body consciousness in a few choreographic phrases taken from the piece «Blanc casse».
Hélène Cathala danced with Dominique Bagouet and Trisha Brown (1989 -1992). In 1993 she co-founded dance company “La Camionetta” with Fabrice Ramalingom, and created ten dance pieces. Then she initiated “Changement de Propriétaire”, an artists’ collective (and space by the same name) working around research and experimentation in Montpellier. In 2006, she creates her own company “Hors Commerce”, questioning the worlds of dance, theater, literature, developing both teaching opportunities and creations in which she confirms her attention to form and stage composition in a spirit of conviction.
