Conference
Staying in shape:
making your body’s knowledge speak out
Coordinated by Sarah Andrieu, Alice Godfroy and Joëlle Vellet, University Cote d’Azur, CTEL, UFR LASH – Department of Arts – Dance Section of the UNS, MSHS Sud-Est.
In partnership with CN D Centre national de la danse et le Festival de Danse de Cannes – Côte d’Azur France, and with the support of aCD.
The knowledge of dancers when they perform beyond the body’s movement, is preferably passed on by word of mouth. Those concerned use fitness methods that seek to have the specific nature of this little-broadcast knowledge brought forth, orally. What relational techniques can be used to have the resources involved spoken about? What should be the fate of the infra-verbal equipment (eloquence of silence, posture, gestures) that accompanies the dancers’ words? Bringing together researchers and artists, this “colloquium-workshop” will question various fitness practices while bringing to light, directly through interviews, the performance and efficiency of the dialogical word.
Espace Miramar – 35 Rue Pasteur (Cannes)

DOCUMENTARY SCREENINGS
In partnership with Cannes Cinéma and the CN D Centre national de la danse.
The Festival wants to develop a theme around the image and offers the public a film journey, in partnership with the CND (the new Dance Film Library) and Cannes Cinéma. A programme of films and documentaries on dance will take place throughout the festival, naturally in connection with the shows on offer.
As a result, we can enjoy in particular documentary films based on major figures in dance, such as Maurice Béjart, Sasha Waltz, Christian Rizzo, and better understand the career of Brigitte Lefèvre or the process of creating a ballet, for example by showing Titicut Follies, a documentary by Frederick Wiseman and the origin of the ballet by the same name.
Free admission, limited seating available.

« Sasha Waltz, un portrait »
(2014, 1h12) – Documentaire, Allemagne
Réalisateur : Brigitte Kramer
Un portrait intime de Sasha Waltz, danseuse et chorégraphe née en 1963 à Karlsruhe en Allemagne. Dans ce film, elle se confie sur son travail et sur sa perception de la danse. Sasha Waltz fait partie des chorégraphes européennes les plus connues aujourd’hui. Ses chorégraphies surprennent toujours tant par leur inventivité et leur esthétique que par la profondeur des sujets abordés. Elle ne travaille pas uniquement avec des danseurs. Elle aime que ses créations dialoguent avec d’autres formes d’art. La réalisatrice retrace le parcours de Sasha Waltz de 2006 à nos jours – les années les plus importantes de la carrière de la chorégraphe.
Rencontre avec un des danseurs de Sasha Waltz & Guests et Brigitte Lefèvre, directrice artistique à l’issue de la projection.

« Titicut Follies »
(1967, 1h24) – Documentaire, Etats-Unis
Réalisateur : Frederick Wiseman
Dans la prison de Bridgewater (Massachusetts), une institution réservée aux criminels malades mentaux. Le film décrit de façon sobre mais détaillée les conditions d’emprisonnement des criminels à la prison d’État. Titicut Follies montre comment les prisonniers sont traités par les gardiens, les travailleurs sociaux et les psychiatres. La réalité impitoyable des conditions de détention infligées aux malades-prisonniers dans l’établissement a provoqué l’interdiction du film pendant 25 ans.
Rencontre avec le réalisateur Frederick Wiseman et Brigitte Lefèvre, directrice artistique à l’issue de la projection.

Frederic Wiseman
Frederick Wiseman est un cinéaste américain né le 1er janvier 1930 à Boston, Massachusetts. Dans ses films, il est réalisateur, scénariste, producteur, monteur, preneur de son, et parfois même interprète. Documentariste, il s’est principalement appliqué à brosser un portrait social des grandes institutions américaines.
Dès son premier documentaire ses principes de base sont posés : ce sont l’absence d’interviews, de commentaires off, et de musiques additionnelles pour privilégier un lent apprivoisement des personnes à la caméra, jusqu’à ce qu’elles ne la remarquent plus. Il accumule des centaines d’heures de tournage sur un temps relativement court et ne garde au montage qu’environ un dixième des images. Montage qui dure alors plusieurs mois, pour découvrir les sens cachés des rapprochements qui naissent sous ses ciseaux. Il apporte une grande attention aux corps, aux gestes, tout en restituant ou en mettant en scène les silences. Telle une mosaïque, les figures émergent de la juxtaposition patiente des morceaux, et son travail, entre vérité et fiction, convoque l’attention et la réflexion de ses spectateurs.
