Pol Pi

Pol Pi is a Brazilian transmasculine dancer, choreographer, and musician based in France. He is interested in a broader understanding of the choreographic field and navigates around questions on memory, translation, becoming, and impermanence, with fragility and intimacy as safe havens. Before encountering Western contemporary dance, he studied physical theater, clown, butoh, and traditional Brazilian dances, and worked as a professional musician for over 10 years (he plays the viola and the rabeca). He founded the company NO DRAMA in 2016 and has since created several performances, showed in many cities in France as well as in Berlin, Essen, Chicago, Zagreb, Sofia, Brussels, Barcelona, São Paulo… Pol also practices authentic movement and self-induced cognitive trance and will share during classes practices focused on deep listening of our intuitions, in an intimate and sensitive relationship with creativity. He will also address the voice as a tool for exploring movement and emotions, and will offer exercises for connection to oneself, to the group, to landscapes and to the embodied and non-embodied living beings that surround us. At the end of every loop, she returns to dance, again and again, nourished by all these experiences, after having deconstructed the formatted movements of ballet to find the simplicity of authentic, organic movement, self-care healing and accessible to all. Today she turns to transmission, to offer ways to access her own body through breath, dance and play, to better listen to it, communicate and frolic together.
