Job Description
For the needs of the MÛ Project, the company La Tournoyante is looking for a person with an atypical profile.
Conducted since 2017, MÛ is a circus research project around magnetic force. It questions our condition of human subject to gravity and seeks to unveil our reality from new perspectives.
By relying on an unprecedented modular device called the Dispesant, which generates situations of "transformed gravity", he innovates by creating new circus and choreographic gestures: through powerful magnets, we act on the bodies of acrobats and on their environment.
To date, it includes four development paths:
- long forms, including a first 1-hour indoor or outdoor (night) show titled Mû, released in January 2020, and a 20-minute intermediate format show titled We don't surprise enough anymore to walk the Earth, released in April 2021, which we see as a form of foreshadowing for the future long creation of Collapsing Land;
- short forms, intended to “poetically inhabit the world”, which includes Small Forms, performances of 7 to 10 minutes presented on different “modules” and designed to inhabit public spaces indoors (industrial wastelands, museums, etc.). ) or outdoors (natural spaces, squares, streets ...), potentially in connection with orders or in situ research, and Impromptus, fixed installations or short ultra-mobile interventions of 2 to 5 minutes, involving only very little material, generally linked to one or more Small Forms, aimed at feeding the spectators' journey in movement to immerse them in the universe of the Mû Project;
- workshops, in short (1 hour) or long (several days) forms, addressed to various audiences (schools, people with social, physical or mental disabilities, elderly people), possibly in connection with a construction process or with a scientific mediation;
- the laboratory being organized into moments of research and development.

- possess artistic skills (presence on stage, listening, experience of a creative process, generosity)
