Jumping #2

 

“Jumping#2” – Caribbean choregraphic springboard – Martinique

 
The second edition of jumping will take place from March 19 to 21, 2026, in fort-de-france, martinique, as part of the ceiba festival organized by tropiques atrium, the national stage of martinique.

The choreographic springboard “Jumping#2” has the following main objectives :

  • To spotlight emerging artists of Caribbean origin and from all territories,whose unique choreographic writing enriches the evolution of contemporary dance. By offering a showcase to these young creators, the Dispositif Récif – Karukera Ballet aims to highlight the diversity of choreographic approaches and bodily languages.
  • To support the development of dance companies by facilitating participants’ access to human and material resources, and by providing them with the necessary tools to strengthen their artistic approach.
  • To create bridges to professional networks sacross overseas, regional, national, and international stages, in order to enhance the visibility of Caribbean artists. This networking contributes to integrating choreographic creation into a global dynamic while strengthening cooperation between territories.
A few words from Isabelle Calabre, dance journalist : 

Emergence is here defined as an artistic approach that, while potentially drawing on existing choreographic languages, reveals a unique voice in one or more of the following areas—or their combination : movement composition ; the blending of diverse aesthetics ; the use of specific scenographic tools ; the boldness of the themes explored and how they are staged. In other words, a new way—still in development perhaps—of approaching dance and the body through performance. For Jumping #1, special attention will be paid to how the choreographic proposal engages with the cultural, human, social, and environmental issues that shape the Caribbean’s “Tout-Monde”.
