Martha Rodezno
Choreographer
Martha Rodezno is a dancer/performer with a number of companies (Kitsou Dubois, Maïté Fossen, Jacques Patarozzi, Dominique Petit and Isabelle Dubouloz), having trained at the École Nationale de Danse du Salvador and in Paris. Interested in the process of improvisation, she trained with Kirstie Simpson, Soto Hoffmann, Andrew Morrish and Julyen Hamilton.
She is also a choreographer and teacher (with a diploma in Perceptive Pedagogy, derived from fascia therapy using the Danis Bois method, plus a D.U. in Art Therapy and Movement from the University of Lisbon).
As part of the “Almasdream” company, she presents several of her creations in France and abroad. She began a process of research to find bridges and integrate sensory movement into contemporary dance, improvisation and creation. She also pursues her own personal development through performances and improvisation with other artists.
Her passion and curiosity for the body in movement has led her to collaborate with other teachers who have a particular interest in the body and gesture: Marika Rizzi for contact dance, Aline Lecler for osteo awakening and contact dance, Barbara Bourlet for Anna Halpring’s Life Art Process, Jules Beckman for the organicity of movement, Carlo Locatelli for dance and a sensory approach to anatomy, Thierry Heynderickx for Perceptive Pedagogy and the expressiveness of the Sensible, and Nadine Querée, fasciatherapist and researcher in bioténségrité, all methods for developing and caring for the individual through movement.
Her work is developed through regular classes and various courses she offers in Paris (Canal Danse) and in the provinces (Rouen, Lannion, Bordeaux, Strasbourg, Dordogne, at the Ecole Supérieur National du Cirque de Chalons en Champagne and at the Ecoles Municipales Artistiques de Vitry-sur-Seine).
She has also worked on several projects for other companies and artists, either as a choreographer or collaborator, including Claudia Nottale, Rita Marcher, Florence Goguel’s Compagnie du Porte Voix, Laurence Pagés’ Compagnie du Petit Coté, the Compagnie du Tempo Cantabile by Ghislaine Avant, the Compagnie Azeïn, an aerial frame duo, artists from the Ecole Supérieur du Cirque de Chalons en Champagne, the Cie des Orpailleurs, the Cie du Passeur, the clown and dancer Carole Tallec.
