- BIG HEART GROUP
FRANÇAIS
Big Heart Group est dirigée par Nathalie Broizat. La compagnie développe un style de théâtre expérimental mêlant danse, théâtre et musique, cherchant à former un pont entre le réalisme et le surréalisme. Nathalie Broizat aime explorer les clichés, les porter à leur paroxysme et en former des caricatures. Par la combinaison de symbolisme et d’absurde, Big Heart Group produit des spectacles audacieux, souvent drôles malgré la profondeur du propos, tout en créant un lien généreux avec le public.Big Heart Group travaille autour du thème principal des relations inter-humaines et de leurs obstacles.Par l'intermédiaire de spectacles, de cours, d'ateliers et de conférences, la philosophie de la compagnie et son travail sont basés sur un concept d'innovation sociétale.ENGLISH

Nathalie Broizat creates a strong, thought-provoking, and unique union of dance and theater. Here themes –such as love- are universal in their appeal, yet personalized, connecting to the viewers’ own experiences. It is remarkable that Mrs. Broizat can communicate the realness of her subject while not staging a literal story per se. The movements themselves are the conveyors of meaning. Ms. Broizat has very deliberately worked out certain movements by applying Laban’ theory of the expressive qualities that movements acquire through variations and phrasing of the elements of Weight, Space, Time and Flow (which Laban summed up as “Effort”). By developing these very specific and dramatically expressive movement sequences, Ms. Broizat captures the mood and state of being that people experience in these times of life, thereby lending the authentic sense of universality to her work.
Ms. Broizat usually works by creating movement that she manipulates with subtle changes in Effort, Phrasing, Shape and other aspects of Laban Movement Analysis to imbue the mood, expression, or state of mind she is after. This finely crafted movement feeds the emotions and feeling to the performer. This approach invariably gives a more genuine experience for the performer and audience, as opposed to trying to create the emotions and feelings in one’s mind and moving from there. An actor or dancer can thereby move in very specific ways and have the movements create a state of mind.
Ms. Broizat accomplished this as both performer and choreographer/director. The meanings of her works are clear and accessible to her audiences. Ms. Broizat’s development of this approach reflects a very authentic mastery of Laban’s theories (particularly “Effort”) and a very original mind that was able to create a methodology on the foundation of these theories.
John Chanik, Movement News, New York
With "Thaw," Nathalie Broizat deftly delivered the evening's humor: She, Columbine-cheeked and skittering, discovers her dining table is an animated cylinder -- Jason Jenn -- that rolls around the floor to Vivaldi before slyly revealing itself as a fox in this charming nod to commedia dell'arte.
Victoria Looseleaf, the LA Times
L’œuvre de Nathalie Broizat offre une vision ironique et sensible de notre quotidien, questionnant les limites et la complexité de l’humain. Avec un style de performance unique, en partie inspiré par la chorégraphe allemande Pina Bausch, Nathalie Broizat est une de ces artistes pluridisciplinaires qu’on ne peut réellement classer.
Le spectacle fait appel à des émotions universelles et intimes comme la peur de l’Amour et les obstacles qui peuvent survenir. L’écriture offre différents niveaux d’interprétation qui laisse libre cours aux émotions du spectateur, qui se laisse emporter dans un univers à la fois réaliste et surréaliste.
Sophie Fung, French Morning, Los Angeles 31/03/2010
ENCORE L’AMOUR! is a box of fancy chocolates, all wrapped up pretty in a bow, and hand delivered to your door unexpectedly by the most attractive of messengers. At first, you are overwhelmed by the grandiosity of your new gift. But as you tear open the wrapping, and try each confection, you find that each truffle and treat has wondrous magic inside. Your hunger, desire, and curiosity increase exponentially with each bite.
Nathalie Broizat and Jean-Paul Monsche have built an amazing evening of movement and music musing on love, loss, regret, redemption, and letting go. Each vignette was a fully thought out meditation on different aspects of love: romantic love, the love of friends and family, the love of music, lust, the love of movement, of self expression, and at its core, the joy of love itself.
Each member of their ensemble exhibited top notch physical control, exuding a unique, open, inviting, and expressive presence.
Thomas Hampton Review.
