Inspired by her fruitful exchange with four Hong Kong-based dancers in 2015, Vo-Dinh wanted to continue working with them to develop a piece of original choreography.<br \/>\nThe premise was simple, let\u2019s combine two childhood games: Simon says and the electronic parlour game Simon with its four coloured buttons where players have to recreate sequences associating sounds and colours.  What they both have in common is the risk-taking, self-control, concentration, adrenaline rush\u2026 as well as the fact that both happen in a space of obedience and alienation.<br \/>\nWith this basic idea of two games with four players, dancers from Hong Kong \u2013 who Emmanuelle Vo-Dinh met during a workshop there \u2013 travelled to Le Havre to continue working with her.  Improvising, making and breaking rules as they went along, reflecting on the results, then letting go \u2013 a new challenge for the four more used to learning and assimilating choreographed steps \u2013 Simon says grew out of the artistic interface between these two approaches, blending efficiency, mastery, a love of games, and ever-reformulating situations. Between submission and rebellion, let the game begin!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":0,"parent":0,"template":"","location_type":[350136],"event_category":[373313,373321,373322,373320],"area_type":[350138,350139],"event_language":[],"series":[387116,387344,387130],"event_category_other":[],"class_list":["post-1291624","event","type-event","status-publish","hentry","location_type-indoor-en","event_category-dance-en","event_category-dance-modern-contemporary-dance-modern-en","event_category-dance-modern-contemporary-dance-contemporary-dance-en","event_category-dance-modern-contemporary-dance-en","area_type-local","area_type-non-local","series-arts-festival","series-2017-le-french-may-arts-festival-2","series-le-french-may-arts-festival","search-detail"],"acf":[],"aioseo_notices":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.artseventsdb.hk\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/event\/1291624","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.artseventsdb.hk\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/event"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.artseventsdb.hk\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/event"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.artseventsdb.hk\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=1291624"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"location_type","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.artseventsdb.hk\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/location_type?post=1291624"},{"taxonomy":"event_category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.artseventsdb.hk\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/event_category?post=1291624"},{"taxonomy":"area_type","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.artseventsdb.hk\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/area_type?post=1291624"},{"taxonomy":"event_language","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.artseventsdb.hk\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/event_language?post=1291624"},{"taxonomy":"series","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.artseventsdb.hk\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/series?post=1291624"},{"taxonomy":"event_category_other","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.artseventsdb.hk\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/event_category_other?post=1291624"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
