Workshop

DANSER BRUT  

Julie Gouju – Brano Gilan

AGE 12 – 17

Conceived by choreographer Julie Gouju and filmmaker Brano Gilan, DANSER BRUT is a project consisting of a film and a workshop in which the corporeality of performative gesture and the power of moving images coexist. The workshop addresses a group of adolescents, in a close-knit dialogue between dance and video, who are invited to interpret dances without detours, as direct, minimal and essential as possible. Dances guided by the urgency and radicality of a gesture. A single gesture that runs through and transforms the person dancing.
DANSER BRUT seeks to film the expression of subjectivity, to reveal our strengths and fragilities and to free our bodies from the norms of representation.
