The Dancer Life Podcast

Check out the video I made with the theatre students from the Conservatoire de Lille https://youtu.be/VWwFzAw54xU?si=pTXQx6T1J2Gv_uJP

In this podcast I discuss how I teach dance to the CPES Theatre Department for the academic year 2023-2024, coordinated by Sébastien LENGLET, head of the Theatre Department. This unique course integrates Rudolf Laban's movement fundamentals and elements of choral dance, aiming to enrich the artistic and theatrical experience of our students.

**Rudolf Laban's Movement Fundamentals**

We delve into the four main categories of Laban: body, effort, space, and shape. These elements enhance body awareness, movement dynamics, spatial use, and fluidity in transitions.

**Choral Dance**

By incorporating choral dance, we encourage synchronization, rhythm, and collaboration among students, thereby creating harmonious collective works.

Our goals are to promote personal expression, improve technique, strengthen collaboration, and foster self-awareness through movement.

Interview with Théo Vanpoperinghe, a former student of mine during my tenure at the School of the Ballet du Nord in France. Now, as a freelance contemporary dancer, we delve into his journey, exploring the positives, the challenges he has encountered, and the doubts he has faced, as well as how he overcomes them.

Interview avec Emmanuelle Abeillé, Gaelle Busson, Fabienne Dumas discutant de leur projet "Entrée dans la danse", de musique et de danse, et de leur importance.

Pénétrer dans le monde chorégraphique afin de penser la musique autrement, tel aura été le défi relevé par les musiciens qui interpréteront en direct la bande originale de cette soirée dansée. Ils ont ainsi pu gouter aux délices de l'accompagnement de danse et appris à joindre le mouvement à la musique.

I talk about self-care and having strategies in place to face criticism as a dance teacher
