Teaching

Three days to explore verticality, create and play with architecture, and push the limits of the body, on the legendary walls of the Cité des Arts de la Rue.

Eight places, for people with prior experience in physical training. Production Les Oiseaux Perchés, studio hosting Compagnie Ex Nihilo.

A workshop mixing hip hop culture and contemporary dance, building connections between the two so every body type and every level can find its own movement.

Julien Rossin and Luah Marques, as Les Oiseaux Perchés, were invited to lead contemporary dance and hip hop workshops with two mixed groups: musicality, hip hop vocabulary, isolation and understanding of the body, improvisation, choreography and social steps.

Each process closed with a performance for guests from inside the centre.

Initiated by Cie Vol Plané with the Marseille School of Fine Arts, the Pierre Barbizet Conservatory, Aix-Marseille University and the Marseille National Dance School. For six days, with three artists, a laboratory that favours the gesture over a finished object.

The transmission programme of Les Oiseaux Perchés. Luah Marques and Julien Rossin lead a hip hop and contemporary workshop: technique and experiments with musicality, isolation and improvisation, and the bases of the dances that make up hip hop, in connection with contemporary dance.

With Rope, the blue rope created by Belgian artist Ief Spincemaille, Luah Marques, artist associated with the Festival, led a dance experiment with university students, indoors and outdoors, to bring Rope back to life. It closed with a performance at La Criée, Théâtre National de Marseille.

Part of the Festival’s arts education programme. Through the 2022 school year Luah led contemporary dance workshops freely inspired by Women Who Run with the Wolves by Clarissa Pinkola Estés, ending in a performance at Théâtre La Criée on June 23.

Our body is our first territory. The dancers invite children to experience their bodies in movement in a place they know, and to discover its creative potential.

A week of training for professional dancers. As associate artist and co-founder of the collective, Luah brought techniques from Los Angeles, Fresno and the US west coast to contemporary dancers: popping, isolation, dime stops and rhythm.
