Distorsion
Contemporary dance and breakdance masterclass

Julien’s technique comes from Breakdance and Hip-Hop, which he continues to develop in a hybrid choreographic language in dialogue with contemporary dance. It is this mix of techniques that he will share with the participants through choreographic phrases, technical floor exercises and improvisation. We’ll be looking at the relationship between dance movement and the outside world, and how we can find the driving forces that set us in motion: Starting from our relationship with others, our sensations, etc.
