Project and mission<\/span><\/strong><\/h3>\n

Company SmARTS is a non-profit organization located in Paris and founded by\u00a0 \u00a0contemporary tap-dance choreographer, Roxane Butterfly.\u00a0 Developing a clever strategy to transform a complex matter of life (her own: being the mother of a child with Down syndrome), the internationally acclaimed performer, combines her artistic expertise with the challenge of \u201cinclusion\u201d.<\/span><\/p>\n[\/vc_column_text][vc_column_text css=”.vc_custom_1678955316173{margin-bottom: 0px !important;}”][\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column_inner][vc_column_inner width=”1\/2″][mk_padding_divider size=”49″][vc_column_text css=”.vc_custom_1728557971654{margin-bottom: 0px !important;}”]\n

Through workshops and performances directed to audiences from all walks of neurodiversity, Company SmARTS offers itself as a platform of exchange and reflection on the fundamental value of difference.<\/span><\/p>\n[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column_inner][\/vc_row_inner][mk_padding_divider size=”15″][vc_video title=”Tap dance into inclusion – Mairie du 5\u00e8me (Paris)” link=”https:\/\/youtu.be\/HaAPBqJEkKU” autoplay=”true” loop=”true”][mk_padding_divider size=”27″][vc_column_text css=”.vc_custom_1728551290038{margin-bottom: 0px !important;}”]\n

“<\/strong>Promoting an inclusive society is not enough. <\/em><\/span>We must create models that help counter the systemic exclusion of our humanity’s many variations”
\n<\/em><\/span> _Roxane Butterfly<\/em><\/span><\/p>\n[\/vc_column_text][mk_padding_divider size=”27″][vc_row_inner][vc_column_inner width=”1\/2″][mk_padding_divider size=”20″][vc_column_text css=”.vc_custom_1728416722694{margin-bottom: 0px !important;}”]\n

The show<\/span><\/strong><\/h4>\n

Conversation with my daughter<\/em><\/p>\n

Aware of the power of rhythm on the evolution of each of us, Roxane stages the conversation that she managed to establish with her child thanks to the practice of her art. The show tells the challenge caused by the irruption of a \u201cforce majeure difference\u201d\u00a0 in\u00a0 life.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cZuly arrived from the cosmos carrying an extra-dose humanity which reset the counter of my ego<\/em>. The slow factor had suddenly appeared in my life’s equation, shaking my sense of time and space, and creating its own swing . I fell under the sweet insurrection of slowness. \u00bb<\/em> (Roxane Butterfly)<\/p>\n

A dance of emancipation resulting from black-American slavery, tap-dance returns here to its genesis by once again becoming the instrument of the voiceless.<\/p>\n[\/vc_column_text][vc_column_text css=”.vc_custom_1678955316173{margin-bottom: 0px !important;}”][\/vc_column_text][vc_single_image image=”5308″ img_size=”large” alignment=”center” css=””][\/vc_column_inner][vc_column_inner width=”1\/2″][mk_padding_divider size=”20″][vc_column_text css=”.vc_custom_1728422588882{margin-bottom: 0px !important;}”]\n

Tap dance is an elaborate language that combines dance and music simultaneously. While the use of tap-shoes is not a requirement to participate,<\/span> students are invited to experience the spirit of this exciting art-form,through fun body-percussion exercises, stomping, basic shuffles and call-and-responses.<\/p>\n

The workshop highlights the benefits of collective rhythmic practices, notably the strengthening of self-esteem, the bond with the group, the acquisition of concepts\u00a0 otherwise abstract for people with neuro-atypical learners (like the representation of time, space, volume, speed…) etc…<\/p>\n

“Until her arrival in France, Zuly had not experienced separatism.\u00a0 Zuly was a child like any other, included in everything and by everyone. So we weren’t talking about inclusion since that was the norm. It was in Paris that I was genuinely directed towards activities for “disabled people”. So I asked myself : what more could she learn there, than she wasn’t already learning?”<\/span><\/p>\n[\/vc_column_text][mk_padding_divider size=”20″][vc_text_separator title=”PHOTO GALLERY” color=”orange” css=””][vc_images_carousel images=”5420,5353,5352,5351,5349,5308,5260,5246,5245,5207,4897,4606,4516,4514,4119,4115,4117,2858,2857,2862,2859,2845,2842,2838,2837,2829,2827,2826,2828,2824,2818,2819,2820,2816,2791,5446″ img_size=”800x 600″ speed=”2000″ autoplay=”yes” hide_pagination_control=”yes” wrap=”yes” css=””][vc_column][\/vc_column][vc_column_inner][\/vc_column_inner][vc_column][\/vc_column]\n<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
