allow emotions to radiate" - Lilà Rougier

as well as dance. She specializes herself in Jazz dance and continues her studies until obtaining the Higher
National Diploma of Dancer (DNSP) and a degree in Fine Arts of the Upper Pole of Paris.

She uses the body as a tool to allow two communities to meet and share together.
Her workshops are centered around the “moving together”. She explores with them how
to initiate a movement without necessarily agreeing going into the same direction. Her latest creation

ALIVETIME

ALIVETIME was co created with Billy Barry and Gianni Notarnicola.
A three chapter journey through life that visits moments of
devastation, self discovery and sublime bliss. Creating individually
but often in the same space, these solos somehow become influenced by and
connected to each other. Each one creates with a strong desire to express,
to be heard, to be understood. Each chapter showcases a predominant
emotion but contains deeper nuances that bleed from one solo to the next.
Snapshots of significant times in our lives that shape who we are for a lifetime.
Created in 2022 with the support of Batsheva Dance Company
Performed at the Contemporary Center of Arts of Tel Aviv Yaffo (2023),
and at Inbal Dance Theater (2023).

Off-Screen

Off-Screen is a dance piece but doesn’t happen on a stage...
The dancers are physically ready but they are not moving,
the dancing is omnipresent, but it happens somewhere else,
the audience is present but stolls.
The show has started , but it requires a phone to be seen,
the relation with the audience is distanced but the dancers are present...
in their intimacy.
Immersive, this piece invites the audience to explore the limits of art’s digitalisation.
Created in 2021 with the support of Tmuna Theater and Intima Dance Festival
Performed at Tmuna Theater (2021), and at the festival Yaffo-110 (2023).

Pagliaccio

The solo Pagliaccio explores the spot of women in society.
The dancer becomes through her motion the personified icon alternatively of an
abused woman or a jested clown. In a white dress, as a greek figure,
asylum shadow, she is all the enclosed women. Silent, she relives her abuses without
never stopping moving forward. Victim or executioner, she alone interprets several
characters. Never listened to, she becomes like Pagliaccio, a clown despites herself.
Directly inspired by La Comedia del Arte, I use the theatrical dimension
in order to assist the motion.
Created in 2018 at Kelim Choregraphical Center and performed
performed at Yasmeen Goder Studio (2019),
Tmuna Theater (2023), and at the Theater Habait (2023).

Aquilone

The duet Aquilone was created for the Festival Intima dance in 2017.
The two dancers are here confronted to an impossible relationship story. Just like in a fight
with himself, the dancer performs movements inspired
from combat techniques and in the physical intensity he needs constantly to overcome
himself. Like a kite, he runs around the dancer which whom, almost immobile,
pivots in slow motion in the opposite direction. Carried away by the wind he continues
his mad ride until he finally meets her without yet succeeding to catch her.

Performed at Tmuna Theater (2017), at Performa Festival (2017)
and at the Habait Theater (2018).

Yalda

The solo Yalda was created for LaStation’s rooftop
in residency at the Palazzo Legari in 2016. This piece is an original colaboration with
the musician Alessandro Raeli and two videomakers Gianluca Carluccio and Fulvio.
Their live projections of images inspired by nature overlay the dancer.
Side specific, the wind and the bluff of the space are part of the creation.
The dancer deploys her wings and is carried from one side to the other of the expanse.
Hanging breath, she spins in a white drape. Like the albatros, she
becomes the bird exiled on earth whose “giant's wings hinder her from walking” .

Performed at LaStation (2016), at the graduation ceremony of the Pole Superieur of Paris
(2016) and at the Habait Theater (2018).

Balade

The duet Balade was created in 2016 in the context of
the Masa program at the Kibbutz Contemporary company.
The dancers almost static on stage undertake a loving dialogue.
Almost invisible, their relation is developing through minimalist movements.
The authenticity of the gesture is essential. They communicate
through their interpretation and together they play “the game of life”.

Performed at the Theater Zichi (2016)

Tribus

Creation : May 2015
Choreographer: Lilà Rougier
Dancers: Caroline Loiseau, Steven Bruno, Quentin Berenger,
Lilà Rougier
Music : improvisation around Balade Chelsea Bridge from
Ben Webster,with Paul Cépéde, Pierre Demange, Jean Philippe
Gregoire, Jules Jassef, Florian Marques
Working through improvisation around the thematic of the lockdown,
Tribus explores two axes during the piece : the inhibition
of one of the most used sense in our society which is the
sight and the repetition of actions. The three dancers are excuting
while a conductor standing in the light is guiding and directing
the piece. Characters are mixing, confronting, and coming together
for finding harmony.

Yalda

Creation: July 2015
Choreographer: Lilà Rougier
Dancer: Caroline Loiseau
Videomaker/ Documentarian: Fulvio Rifuggio, Gianluca Carluccio

The solo Yalda was created in partnership with the Palazzo
Legari (Alessano, Italy) and Immersive Collective, a performative
ensemble of audiovisual arts that experiments in real
time manipulation of original audio and video material.
The dancer is evolving in an imaginary environment,
alternatingbetween powerful energies and grace with a
strong sense of rhythm.

Balade

Creation: December 2016
Choreographer: Lilà Rougier
Dancers : Charlotte Bossu, Yohan Zeitoun
Music : Dauðalogn - Sigur Rós

Balade is a duet created in Israel in 2016.
The two dancers, immobile like statues
are manipulated by a constant movement.
Walking side by side on the routine
of life, they don't seem to be able
to notice one another. Inspired by
the premises of a destructive love,
even before a relationship,
the performers play the game of life,
while they can.

Aquilone

Creation: February 2017
Choreographer: Lilà Rougier
Dancers: Gianni Notarnicola, Lilà Rougier
Music: Alessandro Raeli,
Les Choristes – Les avions en papier
Aquilone is a duet, inspired by a traditional Italian dance
called Pizzicata. The work is exploring the relation in between
the duo male/ female around the trance.The dancers are
interacting with each other through space, rythme
and movements. In between struggle, meditation, and
manipulation, they try to find their way out
off the complexity of love.
