IN PARTNERSHIP WITH LES ATELIERS DES CAPUCINS
CREATION
All along his career, Clément Dazin looked for connections between dance and juggling to expand his artistic world. While working on these links he realises how interesting it can be to cross the two disciplines in order to get them out of their environment. This way, juggling starts to make sense and is not just limited to a technical demonstration. The juggler’s intention is not only to impress but also to share emotions through body and balls.
CLÉMENT DAZIN (France)
Clément was interested in movement at a very young age and started gymnastics at the age of 6. By the age of 16, he had developed an interest in circus, particularly juggling, and worked with an amateur company, Point Bar, where he discovered his interest in choreography. Before enrolling in Ménival, Lyon Circus School in 2008 and the National Centre of Circus Arts in 2009, he self taught by taking classes in Hip Hop, acrobatics, juggling and theatre. In 2012, he toured with This is the End, directed by David Bobee.
During Clément’s training, he looked for links between contemporary dance, Hip Hop and juggling to expand his vocabulary. For Bruit de Couloir he used these links and realised the benefit of taking each of the disciplines out of their environment. Thus, juggling is not limited to a technical demonstration of skill, Hip Hop techniques are used to create time distortions and contemporary dance brings a poetic side, breathing fluidity in to the choreographic phrases.
