<p> <strong><em>US</em></strong></p> <p> 9 autistic dancers dance around the audience</p> <p>  </p> <p> 24th &amp; 25th of January 2014 at 8pm</p> <p> "Faits d’hiver" Festival in the ESAT "Turbulences!" marquee 12 Boulevard de Reims, 75017 Paris</p> <p>  </p> <p> <img alt="Img_5813" src="https://kkbb-production.s3.amazonaws.com/uploads/project_image/image/57610/IMG_5813.JPG"></p> <p>  </p> <p>                At the centre of this new project is the question of undoing the prejudices against two worlds that seemed closed in on themselves – the worlds of autism and contemporary dance. Autism is defined by the medical profession as a disease that prevents a person from seeing the other part of themselves, their alter ego; whilst contemporary dance is judged by the general public as disconnected from reality and focused narcissistically on itself.</p> <p>         To change these preconceptions, we decided to "turn around": a movement that can be easily associated with autism, but also with being closed in on oneself, and off from the outside world. It is as though the repeated turns exercised a centripetal force that erased the outside world and prohibited any attempt at approaching from gaining access. When we say that an autistic person turns in on him- or herself, even if we refuse them the idea of "himself" or “herself”, we see them turning around nothing, on nothing, lost. A philosopher turning around their concepts or the world of contemporary dance revolving around their own navel - we sometimes perceive them as locked in their worlds. But it seems that these circling movement could be an invitation to others co create a common sharing. So it is "we" [ce serait plus correcte de dire “us” dans cette phrase, mais évidemment si tu vas pas changer le nom en anglais, il faudrait garder le “we”] that they seek in these autistic vortices. And we are there, frozen, locked inside our heads.</p> <p>         Here we propose to open up views on ‘turning around’, by offering viewers to sit not around but within the movement. While the choreography works through a process of wrapping, the dancers will blow up the fourth wall to engage the public in a direct experience, like the moving eye of a cyclone.</p> <p>  </p> <p> <img alt="Dispositif_chapiteau" src="https://kkbb-production.s3.amazonaws.com/uploads/project_image/image/60139/dispositif_chapiteau.jpg"></p> <p>  </p> <p> Here are some web links to find out more about this work:</p> <p>  </p> <p> <a href="https://vimeo.com/81666573" target="_blank">Interview with choreographer Anatoli Vlassov </a></p> <p>  </p> <p> <iframe allowfullscreen="" frameborder="0" height="304" src="//cdn.embedly.com/widgets/media.html?src=https%3A%2F%2Fplayer.vimeo.com%2Fvideo%2F81666573&amp;src_secure=1&amp;url=http%3A%2F%2Fvimeo.com%2F81666573&amp;image=http%3A%2F%2Fb.vimeocdn.com%2Fts%2F457%2F832%2F457832057_640.jpg&amp;key=4bca658af8d811e08ea84040d3dc5c07&amp;type=text%2Fhtml&amp;schema=vimeo" width="540"></iframe></p> <p>  </p> <p> <a href="https://vimeo.com/54755274" target="_blank">"Danse élargie 2012" competition at Théâtre de la Ville de Paris with the same team </a></p> <p>  </p> <p> <iframe allowfullscreen="" frameborder="0" height="297" src="//cdn.embedly.com/widgets/media.html?src=https%3A%2F%2Fplayer.vimeo.com%2Fvideo%2F54755274&amp;src_secure=1&amp;url=http%3A%2F%2Fvimeo.com%2F54755274&amp;image=http%3A%2F%2Fb.vimeocdn.com%2Fts%2F413%2F363%2F413363018_640.jpg&amp;key=4bca658af8d811e08ea84040d3dc5c07&amp;type=text%2Fhtml&amp;schema=vimeo" width="540"></iframe></p> <p>  </p> <p> <a href="https://vimeo.com/43173446" target="_blank">Oasis (film project with the same team) / Anatoli Vlassov</a></p> <p>  </p> <p> <iframe allowfullscreen="" frameborder="0" height="304" src="//cdn.embedly.com/widgets/media.html?src=https%3A%2F%2Fplayer.vimeo.com%2Fvideo%2F43173446&amp;src_secure=1&amp;url=http%3A%2F%2Fvimeo.com%2F43173446&amp;image=http%3A%2F%2Fb.vimeocdn.com%2Fts%2F299%2F706%2F299706969_960.jpg&amp;key=4bca658af8d811e08ea84040d3dc5c07&amp;type=text%2Fhtml&amp;schema=vimeo" width="540"></iframe></p> <p>  </p> <p>            The Team</p> <p>  </p> <p> Concept, choreography: Anatoli Vlassov With and by: Matthias Bloess Aleksandar Boskovic, Thomas Dubois, Dany Levy-Willard, Benjamin Lesieur, Olivier Martin, Alexander Miriel Otto Do yap, André Pereira Specialized assistant: Guénolé Lebrun Project Assistants: Matthias Hermann and Gaetan Le Marchand Composer: Erik Minkkinen Hoods: Aurelie Kerbiquet Light: Philippe Gladieux Administrater: Sergio Chianca Thanks: Julie Salgues Dmitry Kourliandski Mary Bossennec Maxime Zambeaux Martina Musilova Dina Khuseyn Georges Heidman, Mathilde Rance Photos: Smaranda Olcese  </p> <p>  </p> <p>           Partners</p> <p>  </p> <p> Production: IDCore/Anatoli Vlassov Coproduction: ESAT SAS "Turbulence !"
