Gies workshop will explore movement practices that consist in the embodiment of anatomy and physiology, and experiment different strategies to use these practices as a soil for making choreography. Precisely, the practices will focus on the exploration of our awareness on a cellular level and on the embodiment in movement of sub-cellular structures (i.e the cellular membrane, amongst others). Gies will propose to observe how different modes of organisation, communication and negociation at stakes in these practices and in the choreographic materials that we will elaborate out of our practice can raise specific political questions around the notions of individual and community.
Frédéric Gies, born in France in 1973, lives and works in Berlin. After studying ballet and contemporary dance, he worked with various French choreographers, before moving to Berlin in 2004. He is co-initiator of the collective Praticable. He creates his pieces alone or in collaboration with other artists (Alice Chauchat, Frédéric de Carlo, Jefta van Dinther, DD Dorvillier, Manuel Pelmus, Bruno Pocheron, Isabelle Schad and Odile Seitz). He also keeps on dancing in pieces of other choreographers (Jefta van Dinther, Antonja Livingstone, Petra Sabisch, Isabelle Schad). Deep researches on the bodily origins of movement, constitute the soil of his most recent work, that focuses on the political implications of choreography.
