(“Schieve” means twisted or crazy in Brussels traditional language)
Solo dance-performance exploring the parallels between the vibrant, nervous caprices of Italian composer Paganini and spasmophilia. In her new solo, Fanny Brouyaux focuses on the visceral aspect of romantic movement: the heartstrings. Through rhythmic mastery of the physical and mechanical tensions of different emotional states: the emergence of a sob, the technicality of trembling, of spasm, she explores the friction between controlled gestures and the uncontrolled movements that run through her during attacks of spasmophilia. A former cellist, she invites the spectator’s gaze to be disturbed, constantly playing with the opposition between lyrical virtuoso gestures and anarchic impulsive gestures. Accompanied by a soundtrack featuring Paganini’s various caprices, the dancer unravels the tensions that inhabit her body, setting out to find fossils of emotion
Fanny Brouyaux is a choreographer and dancer from Brussels, trained at P.a.r.t.s.
After her studies, she created several site-specific or In situ performances in collaboration with musicians and sound artists Christian Schreurs and Yann Leguay. She then founded her company “Too Moved to Talk”, where she created the stage shows “On poetry, sport, etc”, “Warm” and “To be schieve or a romantic attempt”. Her favorite themes are invisible forms of care, emancipatory systems and mechanisms. Her choreographic work is concerned with disturbance and detail, through the deconstruction of gesture, drawing on stagings of archetypal figures and characters at the crossroads of dance, theater and performance.
As a dancer/performer, she has worked with the following companies: Radical Low/Chantal Yzermans, Anania/Taoufiq Izeddiou, Nyash/Caroline Cornélis, Abis/Julien Carlier, La peau de l’autre/Marie Limet, Julie Bougard, Marco Torrice and Baptiste Conte.
