Biography(s)
Marie HOUDIN
Choreographer-Dancer-Dancer
Marie Houdin is a dancer, choreographer, dance setter, clubber and citizen dancer from «Tout-Monde*». Since 2004, she has been developing her projects within Engrenage[s], a structure based in Rennes: creation of shows, artistic and cultural mediation, amateur creation, conferences, artistic direction of invitations to dance and events. His artistic identity originates from the funk cultures of the USA, whose dances are assimilated to the hip-hop culture in France. She develops an approach that is both artistic, choreographic and educational, fuelled by research, training, meetings and research trips.
Since 2013, she has been formulating «The Unexpected Dance», her own choreographic approach, around a heritage of creolized dances, born in Africa and the Americas, popularized throughout the world, like dances assimilated to «hip-hop» in France.
Since 2014, she has been focusing her work on public spaces to work around and from the social dimension of dance. In addition, his vision of the world and dance is marked by encounters with the cultures of the second lines of New Orleans, dance techniques developed by choreographers such as Germaine Acogny and Katerine Dunham, but also with poets and authors like Edouard Glissant. Inspired by the idea of putting dance back at the heart of public spaces and at the heart of the social dimension of city life, she designs giant invitations to dance in the public spaces of different cities in France (“Parade”, in collaboration with the brass band Fonk Nola for Morts de la Nuit in Rennes or the “Soul train géant”, imagined at the invitation of Boris Charmatz for the “Fous de danse” in Rennes, Paris, etc.).
As part of «The Unexpected Dance», in 2018, Marie Houdin begins a video and sound collection of dances and stories between France, Senegal, Cuba and New Orleans, so she is sometimes qualified artist-anthropologist or dance historian. It is a large-scale artistic research and exchange project that involves the creation of shows, international artistic exchanges and a video and digital project. This approach is supported by the Institut Français/Région Bretagne and the City of Rennes, but also by many partners in the various countries. This research also fuels his shows: Bal du «Tout-Monde» -2018 and Unexpected-2019.
In 2020 and 2021, she carried out two international choreographic exchange projects: «New Orleans Fever», supported by the American FACE-FUSED Scholarship, taking place in New Orleans and France, and «Paz, unitad y amor», conducted with a Cuban artist and ballets from Cuba. These two projects generate many partners in France, the United States and Cuba, but they are lagging to 2022, a priori, in connection with the health context generated by COVID since 2020.
In 2022 – postponements of 2021 – Marie Houdin invites three women dancers, and 3 videographers (in turn) around the research and creation project “Caillou”, between France, Guadeloupe and Senegal. It should also continue its training in the Acogny technique, at the Ecole des Sables in Senegal, in order to eventually transmit it.
