As part of a collaboration between TROIS C-L | Maison pour la danse and the Kinneksbond, Centre Culturel Mamer, dancers Sophie Breton and Alexandre Carlos — both performers in Sans quoi nous crèverons — will lead a two-hour workshop.

Participants will be invited to dive into a fragment of the company’s repertoire and explore the wide range of gestural dynamics that Virginie Brunelle delights in unraveling. Working with the selected excerpt, they will experiment with qualities such as musicality, precision, elasticity, ferocity, and release.

At the heart of this meticulous and demanding process lies Brunelle’s central focus: the human being — vulnerable yet strong, authentic, and grounded in the simplicity of stage presence.

Participants in the workshop will also receive a free ticket to the performance Sans quoi nous crèverons by Compagnie Virginie Brunelle, presented on Thursday, April 23, 2026, at 8:00 PM at Kinneksbond, Centre Culturel Mamer.

► GUEST MOVERS are workshops open to all levels, intended for non-professional participants, and organized in collaboration with other artistic institutions in Luxembourg. They promote discovery, exchange, and sharing through dance.
