Antigel Festival: Choreographic Dance Ball

Cool Stuff

Booking Required

Cie Soulmagnet and Cie Marchepied, two choreographic companies, lead the session and present two new choreographies created especially for the event.

Participants learn both choreographies through step-by-step instruction and collective practice, exploring structure, musicality and group dynamics. The workshop culminates in a social dance set: a DJ opens the floor, allowing dancers to experiment with the pieces in a playful, offbeat atmosphere that emphasizes learning through movement.

Conceived as a living space, the exhibition unfolds with talks, meals, and gatherings over time, celebrating exchange, generosity, and the pleasure of art—on the walls and on the plate.
