Young English dancers meeting with the Norman artists

On the 28th and 29th April, Compagnie Point Zéro led 3 workshops with various local groups. Accompanied by Léo Ducroux aka Soulbrother suspect DJ, Delphine Caron taught 12 emergent dancers and dance students, 14 young people from the local community groups and 24 students from Plymstock school, City College and Torbridge High, the technique of Poppin’ Boogaloo, a technique she has developed through her numerous years of dance practice.

Following this residency, Delphine Caron headed in the direction of Bournemouth, at the Pavilion Dance, to share once again her unique dance style during two workshops which took place with various hip-hop break dance practitioners and community groups established in Bournemouth.

Soon after his arrival, Hervé Robbe went to lead 2 workshops with students from the Bishop of Winchester school. Eric Lamoureux delivered two morning Masterclasses for professional dancers and dance teachers.

Following each of these residencies, the local audiences got the opportunity to discover the work of the Norman artists through a series of performances.
