BEYOND AFTER ALL
Meeting with Solène Weinachter
Supported by Made in Scotland and Scottish Government
With the support of Fondazione Nuovi Mecenati – Fondazione Franco-Italiana di sostegno alla creazione contemporanea
In an era that tends to shy away from the topic of dying, Beyond AFTER ALL, inspired by Death Cafés, offers a precious opportunity to make space for what, sooner or later, affects each and every one of us. Death remains a major contemporary taboo, yet discussing it in a safe and intimate space—such as the one created by Solène Weinachter, a guest choreographer at the festival with her show AFTER ALL—can be an act of profound awareness and humanity. Death Café is not a grief support group but a safe space where people can listen to and share experiences, feelings, or questions about death, thereby breaking down the isolation surrounding this topic.

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.
