The Ball

On a regular basis, the public is invited to our ball series. Those balls are both an autonomous project and a material source for our research. The display of those balls is always simple and playful. We host a one hour and a half event, where people are invited to dance on ¾ music.

Here we can play with etiquette, costumes, and social relations. Our experience in this series is that people easily slip into a character, or imitate by analogy what they think a waltz ball should be like. Confusion, ecstasy, humor, fragments of clichés, little scenes, dance movements, body language, approach to space and to music are all aspects we can learn from.
A ball is always different from the other, in its frame and its content. We change the spacing, the type of sounds, the dress code, what we provide to t
he public (costumes, videos, champagne, seating, etiquette…).
