TIGHT ROPE
AN ART OF BALANCE 
3 appointments 2024/2025 
with Jérôme d’Orso

The proposal, to accompany us along the way, would be based on three aspirations:

On the one hand, make the link between the concepts of the physical laws that order our world and our percepts. Recognize, through perception, the gravitational effects and forces at work. If you're already an experienced fil-de-feriste, you've got the percepts. Putting them into perspective with concepts could open up vast new fields of experience. If you like to think about how the world works, you'll be able to feel it. In any case, invest in your sense of balance, and develop your kinaesthetic intelligence.

On the other hand, look at our bodies. Beyond the inheritance we have received, of our body as a tool in the service of a form, there is the miracle of our bodily organization. A miracle of subtlety that, in its potential, may seem perfect for playing with gravity. We'd like to share with you a look at functional anatomy, which shows curves and spirals, orbital and spiral strategies everywhere in our bodies. In other words, a game of feinting in relation to gravity. The proposal here is to rally to our intrinsic nature, for the practice of thread, and to draw from it a multitude of possible responses to give to chaos. Therein lies our common humanity, born of millions of years of evolution in the earth's gravitational field, and also our singularities, our personal appropriations, our unique interpretations of somatic diving.

​

Finally, play. Running, jumping, twirling, playing together, stringing together all the tricks of our trade. And putting in our taste, our energy, our imagination, our voice, our states of presence, our emotions, all those springs that sometimes work like magic, grabbing us and putting us in a flow that's beyond our comprehension. Fun, sharing, risk-taking, hopeless attempts and lots of laughs - these are undoubtedly the cornerstones of the project.
