DIGESTIONS (summer school in creative research, in collaboration with other dancers)

The proposal is to bring together artists, researchers and gesture workers (dance, circus, performance, theater, mime...) for a week of encounter(s) and shared studies. After a first summer school dedicated to Decompositions (2021), this second edition is called Digestions. The Rumen, a group of five artists/researchers, is working together to set up the framework and will be present during the week.

In our Rumen group, we all share the experience of being cornered by certain dimensions of our professions - production deadlines, accumulation of tasks, rhythm of the seasons, obsolescence of creations - but also a profusion of artistic and cultural events, festivals, books, movies, online contents... Our professional meetings are most often devoted to sharing our “work”, observing that of others or disseminating (often vertically) information.

We experience a growing imbalance between the volume (and nature?) of what we ingest and the time we have to digest it.…
