Système D

A “dance conference” that is both fun and educational for children aged 8 years old and +.

The choreographer Dominique Porte and her two performers draw from personal experience to reveal key moments in the history of dance, from prehistory to the present day. The dance then literally takes shape, coming to life before our eyes! How did people dance at the court of Louis XIV? Where does the joy and pleasure of physical movement come from?

Système D | Dominique Porte

The works of the company Système D/ Dominique Porte have been presented locally and internationally. In her desire to assert her own “Système D”, a reference to the initial of her first name and to the different systems she develops in her choreographic ideas, DP asserts a creative spirit that is constantly managing, adapting and inventing, by becoming the artistic director of her company in 1999. Her surprising creative frenzy has been joined by the talent of renowned collaborators and composers as well as the support of national and international co-producers. In recent years, she has noticed that identity and the question of choreographic fabrication have become recurring themes and processes in her creations. She approaches “the process of dance within dance” with a constant quest for answers: Why dance?
