Master Class with Zoë Demoustier

In connection with her performance What Remains at BIBU, Dansalliansen invites choreographer and performer Zoë Demoustier to lead a Master Class where participants will gain insight into her artistic practice. Zoë’s work always starts from the body as a carrier of both personal and collective stories. Through movement, she explores how memories, experiences, and different “archives” can meet and transform within a choreographic process.

In What Remains, Zoë turns her attention to the bodies of the older generation—bodies that are often absent from the stage but that carry a rich history of life and movement. She describes the performance as a “dramaturgy of loss,” where change, aging, and care become poetic layers of movement and meaning.

The workshop offers participants the opportunity to work practically with the methods that underpin the performance: how personal memories can become movement, how archives can take physical form, and how the meeting of different bodily histories can create new expressions.

A chance to come close to Zoë’s artistic process—and to explore what remains within the body’s own archive.
