PROTOTYPE STATUS - JASMINE MORAND

MIRKIDS

January, 10 and 11
Popup - Descomptes
Recommended for ages 8 and up

MIRKIDS is a choreographic device for eight dancers which is presented as a physical kaleidoscope. It offers the young audience an experience and a journey that is both artistic and kinetic. The piece is based on perpetual movement to create a real «image factory» that is contemplative, fantastic and organic. Lying around the cylindrical structure like a zoetrope, each child can be immersed in the celestial vision of the show. MIRKIDS takes hold of each child’s imagination to animate and give meaning to the forms that take shape and diminish before our eyes. MIRKIDS, a kinetic image and hypnotic kaleidoscope of bodies, invites us to take a vision of the female and male body multiplied like an image observed through a kaleidoscope.

Prototype Status is a professional contemporary dance company founded in French-speaking Switzerland by choreographer and dancer Jasmine Morand. The company won the 2013 Dance Prize from the Fondation vaudoise pour la culture. Its goals are to make contemporary dance accessible and to conduct research into body language with artistic commitment that presents a balanced, delicate and unique approach to the conceptual and aesthetic part. Dance is combined with new technologies and visual arts to weave a hybrid and innovative work.
