| Why we like dancing Why we like watching dance Why we like to show ourselves dancing How those pleasures are interdependent The dancer’s pleasure in dancing is infectious (provokes desire to move and produces the experience of sensual sharing). The dancer’s exhibitionism feeds from the audience’s voyeurism and conversely. The pleasure in doing a particular movement involves an intellectual satisfaction related to what it evokes, represents. There is a link to study between the dancer’s pleasure and that of the audience, which doesn’t lay in projection only but as well in the interpersonal relation, e.g. seduction. Both phenomena constitute an important part of the happiness about taking part in a dance performance, an affirmation of what human exchange can be on a generous base, an economy of attention framed by desire and gift: an audience giving time and focus and performers offering a proposal to be shared. |

Besides her activity as a dancer for various choreographers (Felix Ruckert, Saskia Hölbling), she founds in 2001 her own company, mkf, for which she creates along with Sebastien Cormier the duet "if-then", followed in 2002 by the solo "oslo" and 2003 by the performance "a?" in collaboration with Roland Seidel and Alice Chauchat. Alice Chauchat lives in Paris. Born in 1977 in Saint-Etienne (France), she studied at the "Conservatoire National Supérieur de Danse de Lyon" and at P.A.R.T.S., Brussels.
