Gaëtan Brun-Picard offers a choreographed and participatory clubbing experience inspired by Sous Influence, a work conceived by choreographer Éric Minh Cuong Castaing and the Shōnen company. Far from a traditional dance class, this workshop led by the choreographer’s collaborator immerses participants in a world combining the energy of techno music with movement inspired by contact dance. Rooted in improvisation, the practice explores physical points of contact between dancers, their partners and their surroundings. Participants will join a group of professional dancers, where listening, connection and physical contact are at the heart of the experience.
