[ Cancelled ] Dress Code

Julien Carlier developed his passion for breakdance while studying physiotherapy in which he earned a masters degree. After training in hip hop in Brussels and Paris, his early experiences on stage came during artistic exchanges with a variety of other disciplines.
He then embarked on projects that were conceived and created collectively.
He draws inspiration for his creative work from the eclectic path he has taken to get here, linking the virtuosity of the hip hop vocabulary to sensitive listening.
He is now closely following the careers of
the seven dancers he has invited to perform in Dress Code, emphasising “the selflessness they have had to show while, for the specific duration of the performance in front an audience, they re-enact this attempt to go further and, paradoxically, seek approval”.
He is attempting to experiment with the mystery of this discipline, with everything that is imprinted on the body before virtuosity emerges, because this virtuosity comes
from the endurance, mutual assistance
and continuous exchange that remain key elements in the world of breakdance.
