NOS HABITUDES

In 2021 Jeanne Brouaye designed a project related to stage forms called NOS HABITUDES / sensitive investigation into the relationship to the spaces we inhabit. Her goal is to share her tools and thoughts on the history and future of our buildings with as many people as possible and especially with people who are not in the field of art, a way for her to escape the intimacy of creation that can sometimes lead to somewhat out-of-touch visions. The project is elastic and designed to be proposed in very variable contexts. A first version supported by the Théâtre des Tanneurs and the Brigittines in Brussels gives rise to a series of workshops with a group of women of all ages and origins, which will be presented in the form of a plastic and sound installation as part of the T2B Festival. During the 2022/2023 season, the project will expand and transform into an EAC with a CM2 class at the Jean Perrin school, an establishment in a priority zone in Grigny in Essonne. The project is part of the dance in the territory program, which combines research, dissemination and mediation, and is supported by the Essonne departmental council, the Drac Île de France and the Caisse des Dépôts et Consignations. It is supported by the Atelier de Paris CDCN, Boomstructur CDCN in prefiguration and the TAG in Grigny. The main focus is to start from the observation of reality and invite children to express themselves in their living spaces and to make them understand the articulation between gestures of use and choreographic gestures using the tools of dance and, more broadly, live performance. The project was rolled out between November 2022 and May 2023 at the rate of two workshops per month. Each workshop was conducted in pairs between Jeanne Brouaye and one of her collaborators (dancer, scenographer, sound designer), a “participatory construction site” component of raw earth construction was also set up with the Lokal collective over a day to complete an approach that brings together the practice of alternative architecture and the choreographic field. A public restitution took place on May 12, 2023 at the TAG in Grigny.
