LISTEN TO DANCE
The Association for Contemporary Dance (Vaudoise pour la Danse Contemporaine - AVDC) works together with the French Sound Library (Bibliothèque Sonore Romande- BSR).
In collaboration with the AVDC, the BSR offers listeners a selection of audiobooks about dance. Biographies, documentaries, novels with serious or playful approaches are available. You can also dance with your ears, as choreographer Nicole Seiler has proven. Her piece Amauros was intended to test the axiom "You can also hear with your eyes and see with your ears".
In Amauros, the choreographer explores the absence of images, which stimulates the audience's imagination and memory. By concealing the instruments, the sound becomes visual and a basis for choreographic material. The question is whether we can see the music and make our imaginations dance.
