LE PRINTEMPS À LA POÊLE 2026 : "SPOTLIGHT" SUR L'ÉQUIPE PÉDAGOGIQUE 5 - ALANNA KRAAIJEVELD / PRACTICE BALL SESSIONS

Nous sommes ravies qu'Alanna se rejoint à nous dans cet édition de Printemps à la Poêle 2026 avec ces PRACTICE BALL SESSIONS - sa réflexion approfondie, habile et, surtout, joyeuse sur la manière de rendre la pratique intrinsèquement dynamique et interactive : lundi 15, mercredi 17 et vendredi 19 juin, 10h à 12h.

Le Printemps à la Poêle
5 jours d’exploration intensive en mouvement, processus et communauté

Dance artist Alanna Kraaijeveld has worked in the contemporary dance milieu for twenty years as a performer, teacher, and artistic support. She teaches nationally, at professional dance training institutions, festivals, organisations. For several years, she has been hosting dialogic practice initiatives that happily assemble different practitioners, materials and disciplines. Examples include wrestling and voice work (Susanna Hood), judo and storytelling (Catherine Lalonde), clay sculpture and dance, approaches to improvisation with Yves Charuest. These channel her artistic inquiry and connect her with artists of different ages, experience and creativity.

The practice ball is a tool I encountered in Fighting Monkey Practice. It is a ball on a string. It offers a dynamic context in which to align and make precise our technical work. It is also very playful, and so disrupts notions that play and serious work are different and separate ideas.
These classes center as an approach to try or test, to share, and to support, all through dances with the practice ball.
Collaboration – of our structures or bodies, with objects, with partners – is of value.
The aim is to expand our physical capacity, nurture our elasticity, and release tension, move and explore with greater awareness of of how dynamic contexts unlock our ability, and support our development. taken in La Poêle by @looumms

Le 5 avril de 11h à 14h
GRATUIT – (contribution volontaire au studio)

THE CONDITIONS: PRACTISING THE PRACTICES:

Choreographic Process Workshop
Geared towards arts professionals

Can feeling be a way of knowing? In this workshop, Lu will guide participants through scores and practices from their new work The Conditions, a hybrid performance-exhibition conceived for an art gallery. By reaching into the sensory present, we will unfold fields of speech, sound, and movement. Inspired by Tarot and Micro-phenomenological interviewing, we will explore perception in the hazy zone between divination and improvisation, spilling across the floors and walls and prying open channels between the world and our subjective inner landscapes. The physicality of our emotions will be an anchor as we engage with the substances of our attention via somatic portals, hearkening back to our felt-connections to land.
