THE PRO WEEKENDS — Claire Laureau & Nicolas Chaigneau / pjpp

We propose to focus the workshop on principles of composition and improvisation related to the various creations of the company. The session begins with a brief warm-up, including voice and body work. Several games centered around physical and theatrical constraints will then be introduced, depending on the participants. We adapt to their areas of interest and focus on their specificities (professional dancers, amateurs, adolescents, elderly people, etc.) to create a common foundation to build upon. We enjoy transmitting playfulness, attention to detail, and musicality, which are key elements in the work of pjpp. Dance and theater become tools to have fun with absurd situations shared during the workshop.
We strive to offer new experiences and take participants to places they wouldn’t go on their own. We emphasize the idea of exchange. It is important to observe what others are doing and always find something positive in it. This is a practice rooted in kindness and is deeply embedded in our way of working.
