2 shows for this event

After All is a performance about death, deprived of tragedy or drama. With fearless irony, Solène Weinachter takes on a universal subject that remains all too often taboo: the death of those we love, and our own. What if we were the ones to plan and direct our own funeral? Moving between dance and spoken word, Weinachter explores the rituals that surround death—those we still practise, those that modernity has forgotten, and those we have yet to invent. A work that is both playful and profound, After All invites us to reclaim the final chapter of our lives.

Bio

Solène Weinachter is a choreographer and performer based between Scotland and France. Her artistic practice is rooted in the intersection between dance, theatre, story telling, laughter and (what could be perceived as) uncomfortable conversations.
Solène trained in the regional conservatoire of Lyon and pursued her training at London Contemporary Dance School where she obtained a BA(Hons) and an MA in contemporary dance and performance. Her interest as a performer deeply informs her choreographic work. It is rooted in the connection with the audience and how that liveness specifically shapes every show. Movement in relation to her physical and narrative voice have been in the centre of her work since 2013.
As a rehearsal director, a performer or a creative collaborator, Solène works with a wide range of dance and physical theatre companies in Europe including OD Works, Scottish Dance Theatre, Lost Dog, Joan Clevillé, Gecko and Vera Tussing. She is also a founding member of Collective Endeavours, a Glasgow-based intergenerational music & dance improvisation collective that performs in non-conventional spaces.
