ICFE dance students at dance lab in FranceDecember 22nd, 2011
ICFE Dance Studies course secured funding from the Leonardo Lifelong Learning fund to send ten students to the prestigious Le Pacifique Choreographic Development Centre in Grenoble, France, for a three-week intensive dance laboratory. Under the mentorship of dance artiste Jackie Simoncelli, the students created and performed an original twenty-minute dance work, produced by Le Pacifique, and performed for a local audience in the theatre.
Our students were introduced to the influence of a number of French dance artists while there: taking daily technique classes with Nicolas Hubert, Sophie Gérard and Youtci Erdos; along with extra-curricular workshops (Swing with Aude and Vincent, repertoire and performance with Clint Lutes and Céline Perroud), in related contemporary dance practises. The students also had scheduled museum, gallery and dance performance visits, which, along with the experience of living in a French town, exposed them to cultural experiences that were enriching and rewarding.
These students have returned to continue their training at Inchicore with renewed vigour and a greater sense of their chosen art form in a European context.
