Snow White by Catherine Baÿ

Workshops and Performances

Snow White Workshop by Catherine Baÿ

Workshop proposal for students of art, theatre, dance, etc. (ending with an original installation/performance)

‘Snow White’ is a wide-reaching and long term project involving multiple appearances of the Snow White character in a large number of unique events. A stage performance first presented in April 2003 at studio 14 Paradis, Paris was the starting point for a project that continues to grow thanks to regular new appearances of Snow White.Echoing the initial show, the original performances staged by Catherine Baÿ in each new location are put together during a workshop involving a variety of participants (actors, dancers, students of art, drama and dance, etc).This workshop aims to bring people together to focus productively on Catherine Baÿ’s project and create a unique new manifestation of Snow White.When this project is sold to theatres or other organisations, the workshop lasts one week (7 full days) so that a ‘lite’ version can be offered. This relatively short timeframe does, however, lay down the foundations for further work, and it may be interesting to continue over a longer (‘richer’) period, in order to explore the theme further and work towards a significant specific performance.The workshop is not only designed for art, dance and drama students, but also for students working in non-artistic fields who wish to engage in practical work involving an in-depth exploration of Catherine Baÿ’s work and leading to a new Snow White performance with different participants as a natural complement to the learning project.

Teaching approach

1 - Catherine Baÿ’s work for the Snow White project

‘… I am fascinated by the signs and models inherent in society, and my work is above all an exploration of form, and a critique of form…’

Catherine Baÿ develops spectacular performance events based on the representation of a subject or an object that everyone is able to identify.She meticulously observes the social codes associated with these elements in order to manipulate and subvert them by decontextualising and using them in unexpected ways.Her creations are always an opportunity to work with people from different walks of life. Instead of ‘acting’, she encourages them to invest her projects with their own personalities.

This aspect of Snow White is a determining feature, as it means that Catherine Baÿ can create a form of tension between two modes of representation, one relating to the tame, unsurprising image of Walt Disney’s Snow White, and the other embodied by each individual who makes the fairytale character his or her own.

For each new Snow White event, Catherine Baÿ approaches local organisations with a workshop proposal. She outlines a clearly defined project that explores both the notion of uniqueness and the way it can form part of today’s world. She believes that is it possible to play with the way models and mimetic representations work in order to rediscover the multi-facetted nature of our identities. In the performance space, a few movements and gestures are enough to compose or break up a group or form an aggregation, a duplication, an individuality, etc.

This is why the work is broadly based on the idea of the chorus; it attempts to elaborate combinations that re-situate the chorus within a circumscribed space, based on a series of special exercises.

How can we use the chorus to explore notions like ‘group’, ‘crowd’, or ‘individual’?

How can an individual express him/herself via a model?

2 – Snow White: performance proposal

This hybrid project uses performance, literature and video and is reconstructed according to each new place where it is presented. It is essentially a ‘work in progress’ which, although it formulates a response to the Snow White prototype, is open to each unique encounter and what each participant brings to it.

This means that the work takes the specific features of each location into account. The notion of performance (and the way the multiple representations of the character invest the performance space) always focuses on an exploration of various concrete parameters: the way the space is laid out, its history and architecture, local and national cultural identity, etc.

This workshop aims to familiarise participants with these parameters so that they can play with them within a specific framework.

Snow White: the project

A stage performance first presented in April 2003 at studio 14 Paradis, Paris was the starting point for a project that continues to grow thanks to regular new appearances of Snow White.Begun in November 2002, the Snow White project moves forward thanks to an ongoing series of interventions.In the form of performances, these Snow Whites proliferate around the world, multiplying in the same way as mass culture does. Snow White, a character who has arrived from another place, spreads like a virus, taking over a locale, making it her own, and then leaving as quickly as she came.

Catherine Baÿ’s Snow Whites traffic on the margins, at what she considers to be the indefinable limits of dance, theatre, mime, automata or puppetry; the never, it seems, have total control of their movements. By being multiplied and repeated, the signs conveyed by Snow White and her myth end up being distorted. Gesture is most often amplified by installing monitors screening a video of Snow White in different parts of the world reading a text entitled "My Condition". This satirical text further reinforces Catherine Baÿ’s critical approach. In addition to this, a specially designed sound environment also contributes to the choreographic orchestration.

What Catherine Baÿ wants to explore most of all in this work in progress is how we relate to images. She bases these performances on the representation of subjects or objects that anyone can identify. Like an ethnologist, she then meticulously observes the social codes associated with these elements in order to manipulate and subvert them by decontextualising and using them in unexpected ways.

In this project, Catherine Baÿ revisits the Snow White story via performances that are composed and presented in direct correlation with a place, its population and its history. Her exploration of the geographical, political, cultural and social context is vital to the creative process that gives rise to the performance. At a workshop starting off each installation–performance project, Catherine Baÿ works with art, dance and theatre students as well as artists with different backgrounds from all over the world.She asks those taking part to don Snow White’s clothes and, wearing these generic latex costumes, to revisit their own context. Beyond the choreographic code that is set up, each Snow White preserves her own unique character, making it possible to go beyond the tensions between the social group and the individual.Snow White embodies different roles according to where she is. She has been seen in many different places and situations, in cities and in the countryside, in an art gallery or a shipyard, alone, in small groups or in squadrons.Snow White: always the same, and yet always different. Her successive appearances in one or several places at once creates an impression that is both familiar and strange, as if our memory is playing tricks on us, somewhere between childhood feelings and the lure of advertising, half dream and half nightmare.As an icon of the consumer society and a hostage to her own effigy, how can Snow White free herself from the representations that are associated with her?Her overexploitation by the imagery of mass culture has almost made her into a logo for mercantilism; but it is precisely by exploiting this over-exploited image that Catherine Baÿ intends to make here into a pivotal figure rooted in this very contradiction. It is an image that both standardises us and sets us apart from one another; using this dichotomy, Catherine Baÿ asserts the diverse interpretations of a so-called ‘fairy’ story.

The image of this alienation, via Snow White’s costume, functions as a vector for revealing representations. In this work, Catherine Baÿ takes the representation of Snow White and carries out what amounts to a deconstruction of the performing arts industry. Aware of the impossibility of embodying Snow White, the choreographer takes hold of this image and accentuates its form by cloning it.This work is about reactivating an imaginary environment around a character that has been so overused in the media that it has become an ordinary consumer product, and making it into a popular show.

PhotographsAs a natural extension of the Snow White Project, Catherine Baÿ has initiated a number of collaborations with photographers who have captured Snow White as she has appeared in selected locations.In Marc Domage’s photographs, Snow White appears in and walks through different landscapes. In Cuba, photographer Catherine Merdy made a series of images in which Snow White is faced with the architecture of Havana and Cuban culture. In Hans Gissinger’s photographs, she wanders through the city of New York. In the Poitiers region, Laurent Friquet photographed a squadron of Snow Whites landing in a helicopter in the Rouillé market square.

Installation / Video / FilmIn addition to these photographic series, there are also video installations and films.All these media make up a corpus of images that inform the question of recycling and re-appropriating mass culture. Catherine Baÿ has made her first film, entitled Episode#1, with Catherine Merdy as camerawoman. Other films are planned.

Video installations reinforce the intense psychological power of the image and the ‘hall of mirrors’ effect that lies at the heart of the Snow White Project.

Snow White’s Banquet at the Pompidou Centre

Begun in 2002, The Snow White Project proceeds via a series of performance events. This installation at the Pompidou Centre from 19 to 25 July 2010 formed a natural extension of the project in the form of a strange Banquet in which some fifteen Snow Whites took part. They made this meal into an accumulation of gestures and movements, somewhere between collective madness, childlike behaviour, and a fairground throwing game. Faced with the passage of time, the movements of these Snow Whites changed, causing shifts of meaning. These Snow Whites had been there for an unknown length of time and ceaselessly repeated the rituals of a meal that never stopped ending. Artists and personalities were invited to share the banquet, creating interconnections between very different worlds. The Banquet set out to bring these worlds face to face with the Pompidou Centre, whose history, architecture and heritage already form part of our collective memory but which is also a place that is open to ongoing creative processes. The Snow Whites, folk tale characters which have become ordinary consumer products, were here at the very heart of the Pompidou Centre; they took possession of the place and invited artists and thinkers to their table in order to ‘consume’ the history of our culture.Catherine Baÿ invited performers from the Laboratoire A235, a performance research and distribution performance organisation founded by Catherine Baÿ and Samantha Barroero, to take part in Snow White’s Banquet.Laboratoire A235 is located at 41 rue du Faubourg Saint-Martin – Passage Gustave Goublier – 75010 Paris. Here people from the art world put together performance projects, developing the principle of a network. Like the Snow White Project with its principle of multiplying ad infinitum, the aim is to create a meeting place where ideas can be explored and where artists can compare and develop their work thanks to the structure of the locale. The specific nature of performance and issues relating to its presentation, its challenges, and its limitations are all questions the Laboratoire A235 research team wishes to address, exploring the ramifications and interactions inherent in the production, development and staging of performance pieces. Performers close to Catherine Baÿ’s concerns (including actors, musicians, clowns, philosophers, and a chef) paid a visit to Snow White’s Banquet.

Artists invited to Snow White’s Banquet by Laboratoire A235 :Laurent Friquet, Pascal Lièvre, Tsuneko Taniuchi, Pauline Colonna d’Istria et Florian Gaité, Azzedine Saleck, Christoph Hefti, Le Grand Bizarre, Carole Douillard, Lindaboie, Lea Zitrone, Thierry Mouillé, Robert Kluijverhttp://lelaboratoirea235.blogspot.com/

Catherine Baÿ has also produced a video programme based on the video collections of the Pompidou Centre and the Rencontres Internationales Paris/Berlin/Madrid (http://art-action.org).

A teamFor the Snow White Project, Catherine Baÿ has set up a system of partnerships and interactions making it possible for different personalities to take part in the creative process as the project moves forward.

About Catherine BaÿCatherine Baÿ lives and works in Paris.

After studying theatre (at the Jacques Lecoq School and with Philippe Gaulier and Antoine Vitez), ethnology (with Jean Rouch) and dance (with Marcia Barcello, Philippe Decouflé and Milly Nichols), she began to develop her own approach as a choreographer and director fifteen years ago. Her career has led her to experiment with different forms (choreography, performance art, theatre direction, video, cabaret) and to collaborate with artists working in different fields.

From 1987 to 1994, Catherine Baÿ organised performances and events in various types of space: swimming pools, nightclubs, abandoned industrial buildings, the Yvon Lambert and Anne de Villepoix Galleries, etc. She has worked with artists such as Combas, Jean-Charles Blais and Sylvia Bossu, architects such as Laurence Bourgeois and Pascale Lecoq, and actors and dancers such as Alain Rigout, Amy Garmon and Laurence Levasseur.

Since 1994, she has turned her attention specifically to codes of representation. She examines the gaps between the private and social body in Relief ou le discours sur l'éloquence, a critique of the posturing of politicians during the 1995 elections. Ainsi parlaient Eliane et Lulu, a piece she worked on with Marco Berrettini and Kolatch, involves the confrontation of unusual bodies on stage. In 1999, she choreographed Nains mode d'emploi, a performance that took place in a glass-fronted box. Here, Catherine Baÿ elaborated a complex scenographic process that created a dialogue between a video screen and actors. She exaggerates the motif of the jester, which provides a focus for her satirical approach. At present she is working on new "Snow White" performances (www.blanche-neige.fr) and a new piece entitled "Jack in the Box".

Building on the experience of the Snow White Project, Catherine Baÿ has developed the A235 method (http://methode-A235.blogspot.com) involving a number of workshops. The first of these took place in Juy 2009 at Micadanse (Paris) and continued at the Gilbert Brownstone Foundation (Paris) in 2010. In parallel, Catherine Baÿ is artistic director and co-producer of various initiatives hosted at her offices at 41 rue du Faubourg Saint-Martin à Paris.

All of Catherine Baÿ’s initiatives are springboards for original art, for example the Nue & Habillé [Naked and Dressed] cabaret (1994), the work entitled Window created with Gilles and Roël Stassart (1999), The Window 41, a gallery curated by Charlotte Batifol and Yann Perol (carte blanche 2009 - 2010), and Laboratoire A235, the performance research and distribution organisation she founded in 2009. All have made it possible to create original events and to explore the dynamic potential of production, distribution and the creative process.
