The workshop offered by Benjamin Kahn will address various questions underlying this piece and the trilogy of which it is a part, particularly those of gaze, portrait, emotional score, and the cry.
Based on these themes, the workshop will share creative practices with participants to better understand the stakes of these works and to provide tools for choreographic scoring and writing. This workshop thus offers an immersion into Benjamin Kahn’s choreographic universe, where the body becomes a vector of emotion, tension, and transformation.
Through the study of choreographic lexicon and language, participants will be invited to explore how movement can be stretched, extrapolated, and reappropriated, both individually and collectively, ultimately redefining the space and the narrative it carries.
Benjamin Kahn is a dancer and choreographer. He studied dramaturgy and theater at the University of Aix-en-Provence and the Conservatoire de Rennes, and is a graduate of ESAC.
Considering dance and choreography to be powerful political tools, he is particularly interested in the construction and deconstruction of the way we view individual and collective bodies. Drawing on the interdisciplinary nature of his career and the richness of his encounters with unique performers, he creates pieces that combine text, precise choreography, and powerful sound and lightscapes to question social issues.
Between 2019 and 2023, he is creating a trilogy of solos: “Sorry, But I Feel Slightly Disidentified...,” “Bless the Sound that Saved a Witch like me,” and The Blue Hour questioning projections onto bodies, the gaze, and the link between the intimate and the collective. His next piece, Focu Meu, will premiere in May 2026 at the One Dance festival in Plovdiv.
