If we’re all « dancing amateurs » as in « we all like to dance », this workshop will gladly make time for dance and movement in our daily life. We’ll gently venture through the basics of it : focusing on breath, gravity, relating to our grounding/stepping, to our sensations, to each other and eventually to the music ! There is something here about the poetics of dance we’ve received from our peers and predecessors, and that we like to share with whom feels in the mood for it !
Frank Gizycki
Frank Gizycki (France, 1993-) is a choreographic artist based in Brussels.
He trained at the C.N.S.M.D (Lyon), the Ecole des Sables (Senegal) and at P.A.R.T.S (Brussels) from which he graduated in 2016. Since then, he has performed for Anne Teresa De Keersmaeker, Jason Respilieux, Baptiste Conte and Le Balcon, with whom he traveled the European stages through repertoire and creations, and, in situ projects (museums, parks, streets, etc.).
He is a member of the Figure ensemble, the M∑al Collective and the Datura company with whom he creates and explores the relationship of dance to contemporary, jazz and opera music.
Since 2022, he has co-organized the Débord&DesRives festival which relays and supports artistic, citizen and peasant initiatives in Tarn (France).
He never stops articulating the flavors of the movement through contact with the artists, works and experiences with which he crafts his journey. He is intimately connected to the research of the artist Jason Respilieux with whom he co-choreographed Die Kunst Der Fugue and Sotto Voce; as well as with the artist Lore Stessel, with whom he interweaves dance, music and visual arts in all terrain.
