The project was created in 2017 at two Parisian schools of the Robert Doisneau’s underprivileged education network. Over the last 10 years, our team at La Fabrique de la Danse has been hosting dance sessions in the neighborhood giving children the opportunity to participate. Hence in 2017 we wanted to further develop our mission by establishing our dance education in these three given schools. Thanks to the support of our partners, the local studio Le Regard du Cygne and the local conservatory, we launched the dance education program “Touche le Ciel” for all students enrolled at the primary school “Ecole des Amandiers” and at the middle school “Collège Robert Doisneau” (20th arrondissement, East Paris).
During one school year, the project represents currently 250 hours of intervention in total and offers the following activities in class :
At the end of the school year, the project ends with exhibitions of photos taken in class and art pieces made by children all along the program. There are also dance shows in the schools or on stage, at Le Regard du Cygne, featuring children of the program. It is the opportunity for students and artists to share the project with the families.
The Fabrique de la Danse’s team has been transmitting its original pedagogy to 12 emerging choreographers who are facilitating the dance workshops. For them, it is the opportunity to take part sustainably in an artistic education program as well as gain a useful work experience. The number of choreographers trained by La Fabrique de la Danse will increase in the following years. Today, the project offers 12 hours of workshops and 2 cultural class excursions to every 700 students of the Ecole des Amandiers and the Collège Robert Doisneau (East Paris). Thanks to this growing number of involved choreographers, for its third edition, “Touche le Ciel” will be expanding and will include 400 hours of regular creative workshops for students at “école des Amandiers” and “collège Robert Doisneau” as well as two other pre-schools and primary schools in the neighbourhood over the next years. The association wishes to consolidate the project in the schools where it is currently ran and then extend it to other schools.
Our goal is for the program to exist in a long-term scale, in order to have a relevant impact on its beneficiaries and on the neighbourhood. Furthermore, La Fabrique de la Danse will inaugurate its own renovated building in the 20th arrondissement, East of Paris, in 2021. Because of this location, it will be not only obvious for La Fabrique de la Danse to pursue this project with the children presently involved in the neighbourhood but also to reach new audiences and collaboration opportunities. Indeed in the following years, the team wants to extend the project Touche le Ciel to others schools.
