PROJECTS
A SHIFTS PROJECT FEELS LIKE A STRIKING OUT ON NEW PATHS
and each project starts with a desire for exploration and often with the urge to change a point of view or a preconception. Every performance represents a snap shot on this path of exploration. s h i f t s challenge, in a time when everything seems to have been said already, is to stimulate perception so as to give the spectator the possibility of finding innovative links between what is said, and to discover new phrasings. The work reflects this wish to achieve a quality of transparency. Each project takes its time to evolve, for s h i f t s attach a great significance to performance and research process: two elements that are considered as equivalent areas of work, and both are given sufficient space for each to develop interdependently.
RIM # 3
During RIM # 3, from June 22 to 27, 2021, we immersed ourselves in the ecosystem and life of Parc Albert René and due to weather conditions also into the frozen architecture of the former pond shop "credit municipal". We met the daily users of the square and its surroundings. And got into dialogue with children discovering the traffic regulations on bicycles.

RIM # 2
The RIM # 2, in 2020, during the lockdown of all cultural venues in France in the context of the global pandemic, we installed with the help of the architects collective les gens des Lieux the floor plans of Le Phare CCN du Havre, mirrored onto fallow lands, on the other side of the street.

Eulogy to the shade
During the Summer 2008 the two choreographers Malgven Gerbes and David Brandstätter travelled together with the video artist Julien Crépieux and the sound designer Christoph Engelke for two months through South Korea and Japan. Together with local artists they organised each day a site-specific performance in a new environment. Eulogy to the shade is the movie that documents this travel.During the Summer 2008 the two choreographers Malgven Gerbes and David Brandstätter travelled together with the video artist Julien Crépieux and the sound designer Christoph Engelke for two months through South Korea and Japan.
