TOULOUSE an artist’s-eye view



modul-dance Modul-dance is a multi-annual cooperation project with the participation of 20 European dancehouses from 16 countries. One of the project’s key elements is the promotion of mobility, so that artists receiving its support follow itineraries across Europe to develop their creative work and present it to different audiences. Each of the guides in this collection shows a city from the viewpoint of a local artist, who proposes his or her own particular route to artists in transit, seeking to put them in connection with their host city. While these city routes share some basic features, each one is different and in their differences lies a wealth of gazes, aesthetics, approximations to the local and much more. In a word, they form a mirror of the diversity that modul-dance has always fostered. The Toulouse city guide has been possible thanks to the curatorial work of the Centre de Développement Chorégraphique, a partner in the modul-dance project.

Sylvain Huc & Cécile Grassin present Toulouse


Sylvain Huc & Cécile Grassin Sylvain Huc & Cécile Grassin have been working primarily as dancers and choreographers in the Cie Divergences since 2010. Sylvain Huc discovered dance following his studies in the History of Greece at University. He trained at CDC Toulouse in 2003 and performed for different companies (Divergences, La Zampa, Coraline Lamaison, etc.). Cécile Grassin graduated from Rosella Hightower School in Cannes and performed for different companies and projects (Cie Kossiwa, Laura Scozzi, Pierre Meurier, etc.). They met in 2009 and worked together to create Le Petit Chaperon Rouge for young audiences, a manifestation liberating traditional Little Red Riding Hood from narration and silliness. In 2012 they developed this project transforming it into Rotkäppchen for adult audiences, focussing on the physical archaism of fear. Following the success of both pieces, their next project Kaputt deals with the notion of failure.
