An Improvised Study
A trio with Kirstie Simson, Emmanuelle Pepin, Anna Pietsch
E
Jeremy Nelson will be performing a solo version of “E“, which is a section of a larger ongoing collaborative project with Luis Lara Malvacias, to create six duets, entitled A B C D E F. These structured improvisations explore how the production of choreography is intertwined with process and instant performance. The practice of manipulating images and concepts onsite following a strict conceptual frame can produce instant movement and unravel choreography that is full of content and related to specific thoughts. The project uses signposts and issues connected with life and aging, as a framework for this exploration.

Emmanuelle Pepin
Emmanuelle Pépin dancer, performer, teacher. « A long road of playing at the Comédie Française, of working for several contemporary and african dance companies, of being a choreographer and a teacher, brought me to instant composition and the art of performance. I collaborate with artists of improvisation such as Barre Phillips, Julyen Hamilton, the groups Emmajupe and Emir, as well as with plastic artists: Véronique Pépin, Rita Bagha, Isabelle Sordage, on stage and in spaces for contemporary art in France, Hungary, Turkey, Czechoslovakia, Belgium and the States. » Emmanuelle proposes a practice of teaching and a research based on the senses and the phenomenon of perception, supported by the structure of artistic and pedagogical development 7Pépinière, founded with Pierre Vion. Together they elaborate how to refine the sensitive approche towards the body/spirit, a process in which the mouvement is the essential matter. Dance, music, poetry, installations come to cross in one common area, free and generously supported by the art of instant composition. Emmanuelle Pépin, born in january 1968, lives in the south of France. Her roots are somewhere else, nomadism is the necessary choice of her’s in order to comprehend the world and art.
