CORPS INDICE'S HISTORIC
REVIEW The
company came into fruition in Montreal on October 20th 1992, with the intent
of promoting hybrid forms of expressions linked to modern dance or to the
problematic of the performance, the motion and the body. Le Corps Indice responds to a need of encouragement in this domain
of emerging expressive forms and constantly evolving inquiries. 1994
was an important year for the company because its first production, "Le
partage des peaux" (The Sharing of Skins,
finally named Communion) marked a deciding factor. The choreographer and
dancer Isabelle Choinière oriented her work towards
associations dealing with «actual performances» and «electronic arts». This
organisation will henceforth act upon the influence within the community as a
research center combining physical and philosophical. The
main activities of the company took place between 1994 and 2008. Since then,
the Corps Indice focuses on supporting
research-creation and publishing projects. MANDATE The
mandate of Le Corps Indice is centered upon the
creation and diffusion of theoretical research within the realm of electronic
arts, relating to performance art. Given that the mandate explores the links
between the performing arts and technology, we have engaged ourselves to
question these hybrid forms and to stimulate research in this field. With the
dawn of a new comprehension of the body, dance is being presented to us as an
entity most likely to open up a world of new possibilities. Besides
the creation and diffusion of works, Le Corps Indice
is equally interested in creating opportunities for exchange on an
international network and with the help of the written text and electronic
mediums, to write new philosophies and critical conceptions. |
