About Corps Multiple:

Corps Multiple is a multidisciplinary collaboration between 2 French artists: Sandie Donzica (dancer and choreographer) and Francois Minaux (singer and composer).

We create a symbiosis between live music, dance and theatrical performance. We are merging fusion contemporary music, contemporary dance and physical theatre.

Our researched experimental scenic improvisations are based on intimate experiences from people around us, as well as human psychology, behavior and deepest sensations. We strive to develop artistic evenings crossing genres and disciplines to produce eclectic, spontaneous and intriguing contemporary works in order to touch the senses, emotions and thoughts of the audience.

Our first production, (UN)ROOTED premiered at The VORTEX in December 2018.

Our project is to:

- Share a spontaneous and genuine performance by working with the community beforehand and opening the discussion and the floor during the performances.

-Provide a hub for artists and the public to practice free improvisation; Educate the community on the art of improvisation, collaboration, creation and performance.

-Offer improvisation sessions focused on listening, adapting and interacting with the participants senses and environment, exploring ways of expression and creativity through sound, movement and collaboration, where everyone is equal, as there is no leader.
