Reservations: scene44@nncorsino.com

After Tabula rasa (2019), then Der Lauf Der Dinge (2022), choreographer Christian Ubl offers a new creation for the Coline 2022-2024 session, after 3 intensive weeks of work at the Maison de la Danse in Istres. Coline's group of 13 dancers is joined by 2 students from the Latvian Academy of Culture (Riga - Latvia).
"The Issue of this new original work for Coline is to discover a rich fulfilling playground, a strange and poetic working process.
Taking the body as an entity able to produce emotions to create IN OUR HANDS with and for this  group of young artists.
They will approach with an inclusive way, an ecological transition, the vanishing of an ancient thought and with an overwhelming feeling of love.
The power of our hands is being distilled in various signs and gestures while activating the torsos ( torsoes), it starts the beginning of a theatrical language.
In a musical world mixing pop, classical and electronic musics the young dancers are experiencing their sense of revolt and their faculty to listen to.

Coline is a professional training for dancers in contemporary dance, and is based at the Maison de la danse in Istres. Coline offers a full time 2 years course and is aiming to guide 12 / 14 dancers towards a professional career. It gives a major place to artistic commitment, to creation and repertory work by inviting guest choreographers to share the experiment of creating new pieces or repertory works through stage experiences.
Coline develops technical abilities of the dancers as well as their artistic skills and potentials by confronting them to the realities of the professional dance world – especially - through pedagogical actions related to contemporary pieces from the guest choreographers by leading workshops with young publics mainly from schools.
Coline prepares for DP2i certification (Danseur Professionnel Interprète / Intervenant).
