Conexus Dance project itinerary
Based on the game of the cadavre exquis*, the 1st movement phrase initiated at La Rochelle Université in September 2023, will now travel to Technical University of Civil Engineering Bucharest in order to be completed.
*Game which consists of having several people compose a sentence or a drawing, without any of them being able to take into account the previous collaboration or collaborations. “Abridged Dictionary of Surrealism”.
Participating in the EU-CONEXUS Dance Project was a new challenge for me, giving me the opportunity to go beyond the usual limits, to collaborate in a different way with people and to express feelings and gestures through dance movements.
