A FEW WORDS FROM ISABELLE CALABRE :

The emergence here is defined as an artistic process which, while taking possibly support on the choreographic languages currently in circulation, express a singularity in one of the following fields, or in their combination : the body language ; the meeting of diverse aesthetics ; the use of specific scenographic tools ; the boldness of the approached themes as their implementation. Should be a new way, even if it’s still in the making, to approach dance and bodywork through a performance. For the springbroad Jumping #1, a particular attention will be brought to the consideration, in the choreographic proposition, of the cultural, human, social and environmental that cross the whole world of the Caraïbe.

Jumping #1 is open to emerging choreographers and collectives from the Caribbean introducing an artistic project of contemporary dance that falls under the category of emergence.
