Outrar
Volmir Cordeiro
Outrar means to become the other, to be infected by the other in a practice of constant exchange. In response to a letter-soundtrack sent to him by Brazilian choreographer Lia Rodrigues, with whom he began his career, Volmir Cordeiro imagines a dance made of clothes, colors, pain and joy.
Covered in a multitude of skirts, a red ornament that is sometimes a necklace and sometimes mermaid hair, he delimits space by opening it up and constantly bumping up against its imaginary boundaries.

Outrar
Version by Calixto Neto
<A forked path.On the one hand, the body is traversed by the beauty of the gesture of becoming the other, of putting oneself in the place of the other, of being the other in the smallness of the gesture or in the inspiration of a dance, of a way of being body. This exercise, which finds its source in the poetry of Fernando Pessoa and his many heteronyms, is a recurring practice in the work of choreographer Lia Rodrigues. In the impulse to become the other and in the impossibility of being the other, we find ourselves, the power of the individual, the primary material of her dance.
On the other hand, Outrar invites reflection on bodies that are considered “other” in our society. And, taking this a step further, the piece asks how to embody the other from a body that is already socially “other”. A body without a face, without a defined identity; a body recognizable only in its power to disrupt the norm, deviant; an invisible body, even when it occupies the centers.
Outrar, in this version by Calixto Neto, inhabits the forked path and explores this universe of sound and gesture offered by others. And plunging into himself, taking possession of this place of another to which he is (in)subordinate, he turns it into a place of power and transformation.

Outrar is a project born of dialogue between choreographer Lia Rodrigues and the artistic direction of the Kunstenfestivaldesarts in Brussels. Created in the context of the covid-19 pandemic, the impossibility of traveling and Lia’s need to be in Brazil, Outrar was designed to be activated by performers based in Europe, in dialogue but at a distance. The starting point for the creation was a 21-minute soundtrack, created by several musicians, and a list of tasks performed by the company’s dancers. This bottle thrown into the sea by Lia Rodrigues gave birth to three versions of Outrar, which premiered at Kunstenfestivaldesarts in May 2021.

Volmir Cordeiro
With a doctorate in dance from Université Paris VIII, Volmir Cordeiro (1987) first studied theater, then went on to collaborate with Brazilian choreographers Alejandro Ahmed, Cristina Moura and Lia Rodrigues. He joined the “Essais” training program in 2011 at Centre National de Danse Contemporaine d’Angers – direction Emmanuelle Huynh where he obtained a master’s degree in performance and creation.
In Europe, he has participated in works by Xavier Le Roy, Laurent Pichaud & Rémy Héritier, Emmanuelle Huynh, Jocelyn Cottencin, Vera Mantero, Nadia Lauro & Zenna Parkins and Lâtifa Laabissi. As a choreographer, he created a first cycle of work consisting of three solos: Ciel (2012, created at the CNDC in Angers), Inês (2014, created at the Festival Actoral, in Marseille) and Rue (2015, created at the Musée du Louvre, in collaboration with the FIAC). In February 2017, he created in Brest a piece for four dancers, L’oeil la bouche et le reste. In parallel with this creation, he proposes a video exhibition of the same title around the poetics of the face in the history of dance for the Centre d’Art Passerelle in collaboration with the 40th anniversary of the Centre Pompidou. In 2019 Volmir Cordeiro created Trottoir, a piece for six performers, presented at the Festival Actoral in Marseille and the Festival D’Automne in Paris.
He regularly teaches at choreographic training schools such as the Master Exerce (ICI-CCN Montpellier, France), Master Drama (Kask, Ghent, Belgium), PARTS in Brussels, at the Ménagerie de Verre and as part of the Camping festival, at the Centre National de la Danse, Pantin. He is the author of “Ex-Corpo” a work devoted to the figures of marginality in contemporary dance and the notion of the artist-researcher, reflections in continuity with the thesis he defended at Paris 8 University in November 2018.
In 2021 with Érosion, a creation for the CCN – Ballet de Lorraine in Nancy, Volmir will revisit les Ballets Suédois, a particular Dadaist troupe based at the Théâtres de Champs-Elysées between 1920 and 1925.
Associated artist with the Scène Nationale de Cergy-Pontoise – Points Communs, and la Briqueterie – CDCN in Vitry, her Compagnie Donna Volcan, supported by the Drac as structuring aid, thinks of the volcanic as the foundation of creation: earth, fire, air and the vital impulse.
