massage (eng)
Loïc’s journey through and with his body as a dancer gradually taught him not to behold it as a tool but as a landscape, a space to inhabit. A physical space to respect, treat well, have fun with, challenge and nurture. A multifaceted nest. Living in that nest inevitably reveals other people’s bodies as coexisting little sanctuaries, architectures for whereabouts, resources, actions requiring energy. Bits of poetry in movement. And organically, step by step, the notion of care starts to make sense. And so, step by step, Loïc has been learning, practicing and now offers massages.
The invitation to Loïc’s massage is simple yet transformative: enter the session with kindness and consideration towards yourself, lay down, and close your eyes.
écriture (fr)
Le rapport à l’écriture de Loïc a été académique, en anglais, à travers des études d’Histoire de l’Art et de Philosophie. Il a été récréatif, en français - sa langue maternelle bien que celle-ci se mêlait avec l’espagnol. Il a été les lectures, dans les deux langues (français, anglais).
Et puis, écrire s’est imposé à lui. Plongée journalière en parallèle de son métier de performer, chorégraphe et professeur de danse classique et contemporaine.
Depuis, rares sont les jours durant lesquels il n’écrit pas.
Il trouve dans l’écriture une forme de processus créatif qui l’accompagne en profondeur. Qui lui permet d’explorer les dimensions du queer, de l’(homo)-sexualité mais pas que.
De l’humain et ses méandres dans le monde contemporain.
performance (eng)
Loïc is an independent choreographer, performer, dance teacher and writer.
He studied at the ENDM in Marseille and the CNSMDP in Paris between 1998 and 2003.
He went on to work as a dancer for IT Dansa in Barcelona, Donlon Dance Company in Saarbrücken and Scapino Ballet in Rotterdam between 2004 and 2012.
Following the need for a broader frame to create his own work (from 2012 to this day) he went on as a freelance choreographer and, through the years, created several works with the support of institutions such as Dansateliers in Rotterdam, K3 | Tanzplan Hamburg, CCN Caen Normandie, CSC Bassano del Grappa, CC-Heidelberg, Unterwegstheater and CDCN La Briqueterie as well as cultural funding from the city of Rotterdam and nationally from the Netherlands.
