BASTARD SPESIAL! Thibault Lac

Body and imagination join forces in Trajal Harrell’s work!

The workshop will be a chance to get closer to the dialogue between those two fundamental protagonists through a proper warm-up of the contemporary dancer and a series of exercices exploring mechanics and performativity. From walking to other ways of dancing, Trajal Harrell’s co-dancer Thibault Lac will give you an opportunity to experience some of the physicalities of the piece Antigone Junior / 20 Looks or Paris is Burning at the Judson Church (Plus), which is presented at this year’s Bastard festival.
