” Strike ” in English means alternately and in order of frequency: strike, strike, strike, attack, discovery, beat or display.
The performance “ womaniste ” proposed by artist Sarah Trouche, with the choreographic complicity of Wynn Holmes, and textual complicity of author Émilie Notéris, revisits the history of art by proposing a fashion show, ” SCROLL “, of artistic actions performed by women from 1913 to the present day.
” womanism ” is a term coined by writer and Black Feminism activist Alice Walker, to emphasize the contribution of all women to society, not reduced to the sole contribution of first-wave white women : ” A womanist is to a feminist what purple is to lavender. ” The color purple is the one chosen for its hue, expressed here in the body of the text, manifested in the form of banners.
The Compagnie Winter Story in the Wild Jungle recently created by Sarah Trouche has as its objectives, the promotion of artists in dance, performance and contemporary arts. The fundamental principles are multidisciplinarity, transversality, and the field of possibilities, but also experimentation through creative processes. The Company collaborates with networks: spaces for creations, demonstrations, broadcasts, reflections and exchanges around the world.
Sarah Trouche stages pole dance dancers whose lascivious choreography identical to that of gender work and gender at work mutates into manifestation, movement, performance. The historical textual unfolding responds to the unfolding of movements, the repeated beating (strikes) of legs, the lifting of bodies. www.sarahtrouche.com
