Throughout this workshop, participants will explore the different movement practices developed by Emile Pineault in his creation rock bottom (2023). Using task-based improvisation scores, we will work on the relationship between the mouth, the anus and everything in between, unfolding the concept of « bottomness ». « Bottomness » refers to an approach to engaging with one’s body and the other, not through domination and control, but through finding empowerment and agency in vulnerability and humiliation.

Practical information
To make sure you all have energy to move and for the rest of the festival day, we will have a ryebread sandwich ready for you at the workshop. It's included in the workshop-fee.

About Emile Pinauelt
Emile Pineault is a choreographer, performer and curator based in Montréal, first known as Tiohtiá:ke in Kanyen'kéha and Mooniyang in Anishinaabemowin. Through a multidisciplinary practice rooted in body-based research and performance, his work explores desire and sexualities. Bodies and objects mingle and become heaps of textures, shapes, sounds, vibrations, narratives and affects. He develops choreographies which oscillate between, on the one hand, messiness, clumsiness, and unruliness, and on the other hand, intense textures, exacerbated physicalities and a deep sensuality. He composes his creations like sensory poems and he uses duration and repetition to shift the experience of spectatorship.
