Newtopia 4

The choreographic project Newtopia, directed by Dimitri Tsiapkinis and carried by Omnivion and its partners, is a space of dialog among singularities. Focused on the individual, it brings together and expands the group by enhancing cooperation, exchange and confidence on one’s own expressivity. Newtopia 4 is the continuation of the collaboration with the psychiatric department of the University Hospital of Tours. Bringing together amateurs and professionals in a dynamic research project, it aims to invent dances that liberate. The project is being animated by pedagogical and artistic concerns that emphasize  authenticity and emotional intelligence. Creativity and solidarity are among the main objectives. Specifically, for the dancer, it promotes transcendence of virtuosity issues and objectification of the body (self) and the others; and concerning the viewer, it offers her/him, a performance centered on sensitive exchange rather than spectacular technicality.
