Clémence Coconnier, choreographer

>> BLOB
Trapeze artist and choreographer. She explores the contact between air and body. After a circus training at the Lido school in Toulouse she gets formed by Lili Dehais and Zoé Maistre in Paris, and in contemporary dance with the choreographers Myriam Gourfink, Benoît Lachambre, Rachid Ouramdane, Kitsou Dubois. Her research about the writing of circus movements brings her first to the writing of a DEA about bodies of the circus (Institut d’Etudes Théâtrales de l’Université Paris 3, 2004) – and to the exploration of movement guided by the sensation of air and the relation to gravity laws. In 2005, modifying the traditionnel circus trapeze, she collaborates with Pénélope Hausermann and creates the numéro « Trapézi » (festival Furies – Chalons en Champagne, bourse d’auteurs « Numéros neufs » de la SACD). Then, questionning vertigo, and the sensations trapeze generate on spectators, she creates « Vertige », trapeze, dance and electric guitare with Olivier Benoit (festival 100 Dessus Dessous – La Villette, 2007) : scores are written on the extreme streching of a sound, a movement.
In 2008, she wishes to formalize this practice and enter the training program for choreographer « Transforme – L’espace » directed by Myriam Gourfink (Centre de Recherche et de Composition Chorégraphique de Royaumont). She develops hers observations of minimas and a visual writing of space and body. Within Meidosms, her company, her projects are conceived with other practices to create environment the explore the body as a mean for percpetive experiences.

The story of Juliette Bogers begins in our everyday life. The covered richness around us serves as the principal inspiration of her work. Juliette photographs what strikes her and translates these feelings in her collections. By showing us her poetry, Juliette opens people's eyes to what is normally left unnoticed. In the collection prints and patterns underline this story. Sober forms follow the lines of the female body and are accentuated by adjusting the side seams. Juliette Bogers often uses fine stretchable fabrics in order to feel most comfortable. Not surprisingly the last three collections were originally created for modern dance choreographies.
