L'Âme-de-Fonds Company


L'Âme-de-Fonds Company was created in 2013 after the L'Âme-de-Fonds Dance Festival organised in La Chaux-de-Fonds by Simon Halbedo with the association Le Chambart, Switzerland. The company gathers international artists (dancers, musiciens, light designers, costume designers, and scenographs) who work with Instant Composition as an utter performing art form. The produced pieces are devoid of any kind of predefined scores or structures; they emerge out of each particular performing situation, within the common presence of the audience and the performers. In addition to its performing activity, L'Âme-de-Fonds Company spreads its artistic approach through the regular teaching of workshops where the participants are invited to immerse themselves into the training process of the company.
