During "New dialogs w/ Eslam & Stéphanie," Eslam Elnebishy and Stéphanie Auberville meet on the dance floor to co-create.
Through his practice, Eslam Elnebishy questions dominant norms and knowledge about the body and offers a space to search for something else, aiming for exploration, reflection and joy. Improvisation plays a central role in his works, with a focus always on how to expand the forms it offers and how to discover its different potentials.
Stéphanie Auberville is a dancer, improviser, and choreographer based in Brussels. She has been practicing improv performance since the early 90s. She has been influenced by the work and research of artists such as Lisa Nelson, Deborah Hay, Simone Forti, and Nancy Stark Smith. In 2002, she met Nita Little and was her assistant from 2005 to 2009. Since 2003, she has been teaching instant composition and contact improvisation in the form of weekly classes and workshops. She regularly invites other artists to teach, organizes jam sessions, and hosts meetings or research labs. Her lessons are based on perception work and often take the form of research that she shares with participants.
This workshop is part of a three-day immersion in Contact Improvisation on May 14–15–16. The program includes several workshops, a jam, a conversation table, and a performance evening. You are welcome to join one or multiple parts of the program!
