🔹Beginner level with Timothé Ballo

The aim of this workshop is to develop flexibility, tonicity and inner listening, to find a collective form and unity in a group that brings together individualities. Timothé Ballo works on danced movement, a projective and communicative expression of the self, of one's inner being, which can provide a psychomotor reading of a subject. This reading of the body in movement, this expressiveness and/or expression of the body, in its ways of standing, moving and dancing, will enable us to decipher what cannot be said through words, through the body. Dance will serve to reveal affects, images and emotions, and will help to develop each individual's creative potential.

Timothé Ballo
began by training as an actor, before quickly turning to dance. He has performed with a number of choreographers, including Germaine Acogny, Ketty Noël, Mohamed Toe and Gabi Glinz. His career has been punctuated by encounters with Mark Tompskins, Vincent Motsoe and Guillaume Siard of the Ballet Preljocaj, with whom he perfected his technique and perfected his training as a dancer. Timothé Ballo has performed in numerous works, including Bougouri by Anouska Brodacz, Bintou Were, l'Opéra du Sahel choreographed by Germaine Acogny and Flora Thefaine, and Zones humides imaginaires by Ketty Noël. Co-founder of the Nyaga company with Hannah Wood, he created and danced Entre nous... Winner of the Cultures France "Visas for Creation 2010" programme, he presented his solo Mon secret at the Ballet Preljocaj and the Centre chorégraphique national ¾ after a residency, which he then performed in various venues in France and abroad. In 2014, following a commission from the Centre chorégraphique national ¾ - direction Josef Nadj, he created and performed là où tu es presented at the Frac Centre-Val de Loire. In 2018, he is a performer in Mozart's La flûte enchantée ou le chant de la mère de Mozart, directed by Roméo Castellucci, orchestrated by Antonello Manacorda and choreographed by Cindy Van Acker. Then he played the Ethiopian character Abebe Bikila, the first black African marathon runner to win the Olympic Games in 1960, running barefoot in Rome, a play of theatre, dance and music, based on the book Vaincre à Rome by the writer Sylvain Coher, with the Théâtre charbon, directed by Thierry Falvisaner and presented at the Théâtre Gérald Philippe in Orléans. In 2019, he has been invited by Josef Nadj to take part as a dancer in his new creation. Timothé Ballo has a DE (state diploma) in teaching contemporary dance.

🔸Advanced level with Chloé Zamboni

How can we be in our own bodies? How can we be in the bodies of others? How do we make ourselves visible to spectators? These three thematic questions will govern the series of dance classes that Chloé Zamboni will be leading at the CCN¹. The link between imagination and sensation will be placed at the heart of dance practice, alternating between codified exercises and guided improvisation. The overall course of experimentation will invest all the modalities involved in being a dancer, strengthening the body's technique, refining stage presence, enriching availability and permeability to other bodies, to the audience and to space.

Chloé Zamboni
was born in Toulouse in 1992, where she began her classical dance studies at the Conservatoire Régional. At the age of 10, she was selected by Andy de Groat to take part in the re-creation of the piece Red Notes. In 2010, she moved on to contemporary dance at the Conservatoire Régional de Montpellier, before joining the Conservatoire National Supérieur de Danse de Lyon. After graduating in 2015, she took part in the creation Mass B by Béatrice Massin Cie Fêtes Galantes. She then went on to perform for the Collective/less directed by Robin Lamothe, for the Duo Mémoire d'un Oubli, for Yan Raballand and his creation Flux, and for Radhouane El Meddeb for Trio Amour(s). Between 2019 and 2020, she took part in the creation of Whales, choreographed by Rébecca Journo of the Collectif La Pieuvre, and joined the PRESQUE COMPAGNIE directed by Charlotte Rousseau for the creation Jusqu'au soir, as well as the Compagnie Simon Feltz for its creation Écho, then Grains (2024). The year 2021 was marked by an artistic encounter with Joachim MAUDET, for whom she became an external viewer for his creation Welcome (2022), and an artistic collaborator for Kid #1 (2024). Together they co-wrote the performance LIGNES, a piece for spaces not dedicated to dance. Alongside her work as a performer, Chloé Zamboni founded LA RONDE at the end of 2020, based in Occitanie. In the same year, she will conduct "The Research Laboratory on Johann Sebastian Bach's Goldberg Variations" in close collaboration with Marie VIENNOT. This Laboratory will give rise to MAGDALÉNA, LA RONDE's first creation in 2023. In 2024, Chloé will begin work on her second choreographic project, QUELQUES CHOSES, a choreographic trio that questions the body's relationship with the object.
