Les Mouvements T Dance Festival

Les Mouvements T #10 — La Palud-sur-Verdon 2025

The 10th edition of the Festival Les Mouvements T honored its established reputation as a convivial contemporary dance festival, integrated into the topography and architecture of a village, by setting up in La Palud-sur-Verdon on Saturday, October 4, 2025. Approximately 250 spectators responded to the call for this day rich in contrasts, coming from Digne-les-Bains, Annot, Valensole, Trigance, Château-Arnoux, and the Haut-Verdon.

In the morning, two practical workshops were offered: a contact dance workshop with Cie Paon dans le Ciment (Clément Baudoin) and a dance and contact in movement workshop with Cie Wazo (Pierre-Emmanuel Langry), which brought together parents and children for an intergenerational choreographic initiation.

The afternoon and evening featured five performances by professional companies: “Hune” by Cie Paon dans le Ciment (45 min), “Red Notes” by Cie Wazo (15 min), “Une Jungle” by Cie Chaos (35 min), “Neanderbal” by Cie du Faubourg (90 min, participatory ball), and “Glissement” by Cie Octobre 82 (30 min). A traveling exhibition of contemporary dance from the Centre National de la Danse was also presented throughout the day.
