8 DAYS IV – Appel à chorégraphes canadiens
Le projet itératif 8 DAYS cible le besoin d’un perfectionnement chorégraphique d’égal à égal au Canada et soutient que la pertinence de la forme d’art en dépend. Mis sur pied en 2012 par Ame Henderson et Tedd Robinson, 8 DAYS IV est issu du désir des participants à poursuivre l’échange. Les codes d’une démarche artistique agissent intimement sur l’œuvre. Théorie et pratique, articulation et création, action et réflexion, et les systèmes desquels l’on dépend ou non s’entrecroisent autour du développement créatif. 8 DAYS est une occasion de contextualiser son travail, de partager les approches et les défis pour se provoquer, se revigorer et s’inspirer entre créateurs. L’événement se soustrait des impératifs de production. La rencontre crée un espace pour se pencher sur sa pratique et favoriser de nouvelles possibilités artistiques par l’expérimentation et le dialogue rigoureux.
