Soirée d'études

Cassiel Gaube


In Soirée d’études, Cassiel Gaube expands the research set out in his solo Farmer Train Swirl – Étude and creates a trio exploring the rich vocabulary of house dance in an ever-evolving and expanding series of études. 

An étude, in the musical sense of the word, is a composition designed as an occassion to explore the possibilities of a particular technique and to experiment with these, which is similar to the way house dance is practiced. Drawing from commonly known moves, the dancer looks for variations on these steps and for inventive ways of articulating them together. This common knowledge allows people to read each other’s dancing. Together with experienced street dancers, Cassiel Gaube seeks to reveal the reading that this practice requires and produces. 


Language no problem / duration: 55 minutes

La Libre - Marie Baudet,

It is as if Gaube wants to strip house dance of its musical connotations and let the movements speak for themselves. The movement idiom that develops thus acquires something abstract and almost cerebral.
