Creation laboratory - Choreographic-documentary exploration of a work in creation
Dive into the creative process of KÒSA, Rhodnie Désir's new work in progress. This unique workshop invites you to explore the artist's choreographic-documentary approach, where research and movement meet in a powerful synergy.
Participants will be led to:
Carry out documentary research beforehand, discovering the stories, archives and memories that nourish the creation.
Experience the creative process through gesture, exploring dance as a universal language.
Express oneself orally, sharing feelings and reflections, connecting past and present.
Appeal to instinct, letting inner movement emerge.
Evolve with Afro-contemporary polyrhythm, letting oneself be carried by the multiple rhythms that animate the work.
This workshop is an invitation to connect to history, to oneself and to others, through a sensory and intellectual journey where body and mind unite.

Rhodnie Désir
Researcher-choreographer and general and artistic director of RD Créations, Rhodnie Désir has created more than twenty works addressing the social sciences (anthropology and history with the BOW’T TRAIL), health (cardiology with Symphonie de cœurs) and bringing together the memories of more than 220 personalities around the world. Symphonie de cœurs, the large-scale work that addresses the beauty and flaws related to the organic, emotional and social heart, translated the reality of health professionals and patients at the Montreal Heart Institute, the Épic Centre and the Cardiocentro Ticino in Lugano (Switzerland). Recipient of two Prix de la Danse de Montréal (2020), named Première Artiste Associée de la Place des Arts (2021-2024) and awarded the Sandra Faire Next Génération Award by the Dance Collection Danse (2022), Désir stands out internationally for her unique choreographic-documentary approach that positions her on the international scene as an avant-garde of her generation. A performer and speaker of remarkable power, her words and civic actions go beyond dance to shine in the media, academic and political spheres, such as at UNESCO.
