WORKSHOP
From Transmedia Writing to Performing Arts
WITH Cie AREP – Sébastien Rouiller and Yumi Rigout
The workshop proposed by Cie AREP invites participants to explore immersive creation in a digital environment. Created by French artist Emmanuelle Raynaut, the collective develops hybrid works with elements from the visual, performing and digital arts. In this meeting, through multiple languages (body, voice, text and video), which make up the group’s work entitled Borrar Los bordes – effacer les bords, conductor artists Sébastien Rouiller and Yumi Rigout propose to students, artists and researchers in the performing arts a sensitive crossing of borders, human and alive.
WHEN AND WHERE
ABOUT
Cie AREP was created by Emmanuelle Raynaut after she returned to Europe following a decade of professional experience in the Middle East and Latin America. Emmanuelle Raynaut is an artist, performer, director and choreographer. With the AREP company, she tackles hybrid writing that combines live performance, immersion and digital environments. Women’s voices, memory and the presence of invisible people are at the centre of her work.
Sébastien Rouiller is a multifaceted, self-taught artist. He trained at IRCAM in sound treatment, real-time interaction, computer-assisted composition and software programming. He is also interested in gestural and robotic capture in live performance, theatre and dance. She has been collaborating with Cie AREP since 2018 on the creation of technological, sound and human devices, as well as participatory writing. She also works on free software, permaculture and drone piloting.
Yumi Rigout is a circus, aikido and dance graduate who joined Cie AREP at the age of 15, where she developed an interest in transmedia and collaborative writing while pursuing her career as a performer. Her feminist and ecological commitment, as well as her interest in ethology and sociology, led her to explore, practise and share post-internet dances. Since 2019, she has also been developing her own creative projects.
