Ciné-Dance Film

(Work in Development)

Description

Waving Place is a scripted ciné-dance film written and directed by Chélanie Beaudoin Quentin, which revisits the choreography and aesthetic materials of the performance Popmolle.

Popmolle is an immersive performance combining dance and digital art, inspired by the concept of tensegrity—the ability of a structure to stabilize itself through the balance of tension and compression forces. Artists Anne-Flore de RochambeauLiliane Moussa Marine RixhonSimon Laroche and Danny Perreault  explore the expressive possibilities of softness and elasticity as applied to body movement, imagery, and sound.

Popmolle offers a sensory, spatial, and immersive experience where the real-time interaction between contemporary dance and digital arts requires the artists to continuously adapt. Their work uniquely combines the languages of both disciplines. The creators developed an interactive system that responds to choreographed movements. Whether through algorithmic processes, physical structures, or human bodies, members of both collectives playfully deform one another, informing their practices in a reciprocal and dynamic way.
