Description
AudioBébéDanse! was born from the question of how we could tell stories of the body and of dance to very young children, in the same way we would tell a narrative.
AudiobebéDanse! is an immersive choreographic project for children aged 9 months to 3 years, based on the relationship between movement and sound, between listening and sight. It is performed by two dancers within an immersive sound environment. The aim is to stimulate movement through hearing and vision, thereby fostering children’s imagination and sensory awareness.
The two fundamental principles are listening (sounds, voices, stories, words, and onomatopoeia transmitted through audio) and movement, tracing the child’s sensory-motor development and its different stages, from birth to walking.
The project is structured in chapters, like successive audio episodes, each exploring a stage of development and a specific relationship between speech/sound and movement. It exists in a version for non-equipped spaces (daycare centers, kindergartens, libraries, art centers, etc.) as well as a version for theatrical venues.
