On ne va pas se défiler ! A parade that will carry loud and clear the creativity, diversity and solidarity of the youth of Seine-Saint-Denis.
When Paris was designated the Olympic city for 2024, eight creative and performing arts venues in Seine-Saint-Denis (*) wanted to form a collective to dream about what the Cultural Olympiad could be: an artistic, festive and unifying event, combined with a deeper reflection on the changes we must make in this territory.
These eight places gathered in the collective La Beauté du Geste (*) are now pooling their energy to organize in June 2024 a great parade built from September 2022 through a long participatory process. These long-term artistic projects, driven by the eight venues, will eventually form the different segments of the parade composed of a total of more than 1200 young people. Resulting from commissions placed by the members of La Beauté du Geste to artists and imagined in close collaboration with the inhabitants, each segment will be singular.
In La Courneuve
The Jean Houdremont cultural center and the Maison des Jonglages in La Courneuve are working with the Cheptel Aleïkoum to co-construct with young amateurs a course mixing circus techniques with acrobatic stunts and object manipulation, a fanfare and percussion set in motion, acrobatic cycling and bicycle floats. We’re working with various sports and social clubs and associations to write the Courneuvian segment of this grand parade, based on the city’s desires and resources.
The Cheptel Aleïkoum seeks above all the valorization of the young participants in the whole process of discovery/research/choice/
For this purpose, Le Cheptel offers a wide range of possible disciplines:
– The same type of work is possible with voice alone, or with percussion, and is linked to work on real-time musical writing with Sound Painting (a gestural language developed by Walter Thompson from 1974 onwards).
– discover and create acrobatic lifts, particularly collective lifts where the creative aspect is more accessible.
– Research and learn to balance on objects (once again in an individual and collective dimension): large rocking board, rola bola, wire, ball.
– Research with rolling objects: we can bring acrobatic bicycles (a discipline practised in our shows) and extend to choreographic and technical work with rollerblades, skateboards, scooters, or other objects.
– practice of stage acting and basic show writing rules, gradual introduction to improvisation, work on the role of the director.
– discovery and research into certain juggling accessories. (This is the discipline that we are least comfortable with, but which sometimes generates interest, and which we tend to treat humorously with the use of a majorette stick, or hula hoop.
