The choreographic approach of the Compagnie K. Danse develops a contemporary movement language by the dialectic confrontation between the physical body (lived, experienced) and the visual body (seen, virtual).

These five projects are both distinct in their format, and connected via a particular attention paid to the hybridization of contemporary dance and digital arts:
« Myselves », « RCO », « Maraya Arrouh », “Immortal(s) and « F_AI_L ».
« F_AI_L », production 2024, questions the possibility of failure of an IA when it confronts and dialogues with the body, via the interactive comparison between normative and inhabitual mouvements. Created with artist programmer Clément Barbisan.
The portfolio is available here.

« Immortal(s)» https://www.k-danse.net/en/portfolio/creation2023/
video teaser
8 mn video
Immersive, site-specific, participatory, and interactive live performance.
A speculative and post-human science f(r)iction.
Audiences, projected into the future, can, at will, act upon and dialogue with an hybrid being, sort of “organorg”,
enclosed for eternity inside a protective capsule.
This creature is nothing more than one, amongst many “Immortal(s)s”, which has been ostracized.
A meeting between two intelligences: the artificial one and the corporeal one.
« Myselves »: immersive, poetic and contemplative performance. https://www.k-danse.net/en/portfolio/myselves/
A beautiful solo, see a short video here
This performance, created with digital artist Antoine Schmitt, and Marianne Masson, is back on the road again: Festival Année Zéro at Bernay in Normandie, Theater Magtymgouli and French Institute of Achgabat (30rd anniversary of the UE-Turkmenistan relationship), with the help of the French Institute Paris.
It will be presented on December 12, 2024, at the Kiasma Theater, Castelnau-le-Lez (Montpellier)
« RCO (Radical Choreographic Object) »: playful and reflexive performance, created with Sarah Fdili Alaoui, which invites the audience to participate physically, at will, invited both by four dancers and via messages sent on their smartphones.

This performance, still very alive to this day, can be presented in any indoor or outdoor space, at night or during day time, and can be part of any specific event (inauguration, opening of an exhibition, etc.).
