Récif is a support center addressed to companies and dancers from the territory, France and abroad.

In order to continue its missions of creation’s support and professionalization of choreographic artists, the Dispositif Récif is launching the very first edition of emerging companies’ scouting with the caribbean springboard « Jumping #1».

“The emergence here is defined as an artistic process which, while taking possibly support on the choreographic languages currently in circulation, express a singularity in one of the following fields, or in their combination : the body language ; the meeting of diverse aesthetics ; the use of specific scenographic tools ; the boldness of the approached themes as their implementation. Should be a new way, even if it’s still in the making, to approach dance and bodywork through a performance. For the springboard Jumping #1, a particular attention will be brought to the consideration, in the choreographic proposition, of the cultural, human, social and environmental that cross the whole world of the Caraïbe."
Isabelle Calabre
