Concept

From 20 to 22 February, Clint Lutes will offer an improvisation based training for professional or experienced choreographic artists, as well as for people working in the medical and social fields (with experience in dance). He proposes to share the DaPoPa method that explores artistic practice in connection with people living with Parkinson's disease.

The three days will conclude with an afternoon of practical activities with people affected by Parkinson's disease, organised at the Museum of Walloon Life, at the heart of its Rio exhibition. This meeting is designed to be a time for sharing and experimentation.

Trainer 

Clint Lutes obtained his Bachelor's degree in Dance at NYU. His choreography, often interactive and designed to adapt to different spaces, is as much inspired by human fragility as it is by joy. In 2018, he created the company DaPoPa, and creates projects particularly with people living with movement disorders. Clint joined the Troupe de l'Imaginaire at the Théâtre de la Ville de Paris in 2020. He has been an associate artist of the European Dance Well project at the briqueterie CDCN since 2022. As a teacher, he has taught for Australian Dance Theatre, ImPulsTanz Festival, K3, Tanzhaus Zurich, Cal St. Fullerton and NYU.
