LES CARAMELS FOUS

Dance Music Artistic Activities

The troupe was created in 1982 as Choir Choir Accord on Gay Choirs in the United States. But it was only in 1985 that this company, at the frontier of theatre and singing, took the name of Caramels Mad. Today, they are thirty on stage, they tell stories in music, genre comedy music with very well-known tunes, misappropriated for the circumstance. Each year, a creation; the year after, a recovery. Still at the Théâtre Le Trianon. Always a party! An increasingly professional spectacle, not to be missed. The company is also often on tour.

ATELIER DE PARIS – CAROLYN CARLSON

Theatre workshops and courses
3/5
2 reviews

As his title indicates, this workshop is more a workplace than a concert room. In spite of this, there is a public rehearsal of creations imagined by companies in residence, as well as pieces given after regular classes organized regularly on the spot. A few choreographers from here: Trisha Brown, Suzanne Linke, Bill T. Jones, Wim Vandekeybus, Michèle-Anne de Mey, Dominique Boivin, Susan Buirge.….......................................................................................................... Cartoucherie, set of buildings where the Paris-Carolyn-Carlson Workshop settled in 1999. The latter bears the name of the famous American dancer and choreographer who chose to live in Paris as early as 1971. This spiritual heir of Alwin Nikolais, on the request of Rolf Liebermann, led the Theater Research Group - GRTOP - from the Paris Opera from 1974 to 1980 as a choreographer. She played a pioneering role in the emergence of the new contemporary French dance. An adept of a dance she happily defines as "visual poetry" - with the essential complicity of musicians like René Aubry or Michel Portal - Carolyn Carlson is also head of the National Choreographic Center of Roubaix Nord-Pas de Calais.

Masterclasses, summerlab and other workshops are organized all year round and allow to professionalize in certain disciplines with high-level artists. These demanding formations are not accessible to beginners, however, and they are best used before engaging.
