Five perfomers engage with geological phenomena such as rock metamorphism, the chemical workings of fire, mountain building and erosion processes. A choreographic orality then emerges: at the crossroads of different modes of dialogue, science-fictional entities named Mossy question the boundary between the human and the non-human. The bodies embody the point of crystallization between narrative, hallucination, scientific and chemical information, memories, sensations and more. All the elements of the artistic environment come together to highlight the hollows of language when it is no longer enough to say, to tell, to read and to perceive.
"Through polyphonic and kaleidoscopic writing, made up of interweaving human and non-human voices, I wish to create a form of science-fictional and dreamlike epic that crosses both narrative and abstraction, the poetic and the tangible, the imaginary and the factual." Louise Vanneste
After training in classical dance, Belgian choreographer Louise Vanneste turned to contemporary dance and joined P.A.R.T.S. in Brussels. She continued her training in New York with the Trisha Brown Dance Company. Her artistic research seeks to broaden the territories of dance, exploring in particular the workings of plants and scientific phenomena linked to geology and climate. Alongside her choreographic work, Louise Vanneste has been involved in teaching and transmission for the past ten years. In 2024-2025, she will be artist-in-residence at UC Louvain.

RESIDENCY AT CCN GRENOBLE

DECEMBER 21-22, 2024
WITH THE ARTISTS: Ruth Childs, Katerina Andreou, Bryan Campbell, Luara Raio

RESIDENCY AT CCN GRENOBLE
FROM JANUARY 2024 TO DECEMBER 2025
JUNE 29-30, 2024
DECEMBER 21-22, 2024
On arriving for her residency in the CCN Grenoble studio, facing the mountains, Ruth Childs found herself thinking about the artists who had passed through this place before her and would do so after her. She knew some of them very well, others a little less, by name or by sight, others not at all. She was struck by the lack of connection between them. She wanted to leave a note of encouragement, a surprise, check in, ask a question about something she'd picked up from their work. But due to lack of time, caught up in her own work, her thoughts simply materialized in the form of "likes" via social networks, a Facebook or Instagram page.
To combat this lack of exchange, symptomatic of the current era, she drew inspiration from the free, intimate, handwritten correspondences of Judson Church members (Steve Paxton, Yvonne Rainer, Lucinda Childs...) to imagine a space-time for correspondence with a small group of artists. A space-time to exchange ideas, ask questions, get lost together, have fun, tell each other details of their artistic questionings and troubles. These exchanges can be short and spontaneous (like a postcard) or more polished (like a letter), but will preferably be handwritten and sent by post.
The primary aim of this project is to open up and share the experience of a genuine long-term exchange. In a second phase, and in agreement with the group, we could consider publishing some or all of the correspondence produced in 2026.
