CAILLOUX is the second installment in the childhood cycle begun with KID#1. Here, Joachim Maudet focuses on the sandbox and its symbolism to explore the forces at play and the interactions between children. He seeks to stage bodies that are naive, innocent, and uncodified. Building on his work exploring the dissociation between body and voice, he creates a vocal and sung piece, using ventriloquism, that serves as a counterpoint to the performers’ binary, raw, and impactful actions. Serving as an additional layer of interpretation, this accumulation blurs what we see and what we hear, creating worlds within worlds.

Originally from Brittany, Joachim Maudet is a dancer and choreographer who graduated from the CNSMDP. He has collaborated with several choreographers, including Tatiana Julien, Arthur Perole, and Ambra Senatore. He founded the company Les Vagues in 2017 with the aim of exploring the relationship and dissociation between the body and the voice. His creations playfully engage with the practices of ventriloquism, sound effects, and automatic speech. In June 2024, Joachim Maudet received the SACD New Talent Award. He is supported by the TREMPLIN network from 2024 to 2027 and is an associate artist at the Centre Chorégraphique National d’Orléans—directed by Collectif ÈS—from 2025 to 2028.

RESIDENCY AT THE CCN GRENOBLE

FROM JANUARY 2024 TO DECEMBER 2025

■

JUNE 29-30, 2024
DECEMBER 21-22, 2024

Upon arriving for her residency at the CCN studio CCN Grenoble, with the mountains before her, Ruth Childs thinking about the artists who had passed through—those who had been there before her and those who would come after. She knows some of them very well, others less so, by name or by sight, and still others not at all. She was struck by the lack of connection between them. She wanted to leave a little note of encouragement, a surprise, check in, ask a question about elements she had picked up from their work. But due to a lack of time, caught up in her own work, her thoughts simply materialized as “likes” via social media, a Facebook page, or Instagram.

To combat this lack of exchange, symptomatic of the current era, she draws inspiration from the free, intimate, handwritten correspondence of members of the Judson Church (Steve Paxton, Yvonne Rainer, Lucinda Childs…) to imagine a space-time that allows for correspondence with a small group of artists. A space-time to exchange ideas, ask questions, get lost together, have fun, and share the details of their artistic questions and struggles. These exchanges may be short and spontaneous (like a postcard) or more carefully crafted (like a letter), but should, ideally, be handwritten and sent by mail.

The primary goal of this project is to foster openness and the shared experience of a genuine, long-term exchange. In a second phase, and in agreement with the group, a publication of some or all of the correspondence produced in 2026 could be considered.
