Terrain | Boris Charmatz

«A Dancer’s Day» a representative day in the life of a dancer, offers amateurs the chance to experience and participate in the creation of a choreography at international level. During the four-hour event − including warm-up, workshop, picnic, siesta, performance and dance floor − participatory and contemplative moments alternate. And almost incidentally, one can watch two choreographies − one by Boris Charmatz and one by Tino Sehgal. Participants get to witness the elaboration on Charmatz’ piece «infini», which will be performed towards the end of the day. Rarely do you get the chance to be any closer or to become part of what is presented on stage later on – and all of this without any previous experience. In the context of the project «Un essai à ciel ouvert», «A Dancer’s Day» is also a test for a day in the life of a future dance centre in the open air. (mvh)
