Continuous Project Altered Daily

I and we

In April, twenty-five students from the PARTS dance school and the ERG (École de recherche graphique) will be engaged in a workshop headed by the choreographer Xavier Le Roy and the art historian and art critic Christophe Wavelet. The basis for the workshop is the performance Continuous Project Altered Daily (1970) by the American choreographer and film-maker Yvonne Rainer, one of the leading figures in the legendary Judson Church group.

How to counter the very sterilization of collective forms of experience, as well as the general tendency of a self isolation that weighs on our present ? How to invent ways of being together, while imagining a cooperation of intelligences ? Which situation is to be achieved, so that the equality of everyone and anyone could be verified, and give way to the invention of an unpredictable common ? How to reassess alteration as a motor allowing for identification ?

This intervention wishes to reverberate this very fact : if art can be passed down, it is first of all because it is itself the operator of the collective without which no transmission could ever be achieved.
