The 8th International Meeting of Live Arts AM24, in collaboration with Mercat de les Flors proposes an exclusive masterclass with artist Nadia Beugré, who will offer the show L’homme rare on 14 and 15 December at the Mercat. During the month of March 2024, the creator from the Ivory Coast took part in a training course as part of the professional training programme “Creation | Reflection | Body” organised by Africa Moment at Graner dance and performing arts creation centre.

The transgressive creator Nadia Beugré coined the term “shriftt” to define the daily practice of creating our own survival every day. This class offers an exclusive training for performing arts professionals in which they can discover their own ‘shriftt’, a stimulating context for listening and encountering others, the music of bodies, space and what we do not yet know.

Nadia Beugré interrogates issues related to the body, gender, global injustices, the environment or the rights of oppressed communities with a transgressive choreographic repertoire that is acclaimed worldwide.

It’s harrowing, both in action and sound; Ms. Beugré knows how to make a crowd trust her just as, in a split second, she knows how to knock the air out of people. She’s wild like the wind.” – The New York Times

Nadia Beugré was awarded the SACD 2023 Prize for new choreographic talent. Originally from the Ivory Coast, she made her first appearance as a member of the Dante Theatre in 1995. Two years later, together with Béatrice Kombé, she co-founded the ground-breaking all-female dance company, Tchétché. In 2009, following her studies at Germaine Acogny’s École des Sables in Senegal, she joined Mathilde Monnier’s ex.e.r.ce. programme for talented, up-and-coming choreographers at the Centre Chorégraphique National in Montpellier. Nadia Beugré, whose work examines issues such as the body, gender and nudity, has been an associated artist with the Briqueterie in Vitry-sur-Seine (France) since 2021, as well as with the ICI CCN in Montpellier (2023-2024).
