Kim Sonnet

Kim is a Belgian dancer and performer, born in France in 2001. Whose journey in dance began in AVANT SCENE dance school in her hometown of Gap and immediately found herself in contemporary dance. At the age of 18, she pursued a three-yaer degree in STAPS at Grenoble University, where she obtained a diploma as a teacher of Adapted Physical Activity. During these three years in Grenoble, Kim was a member of the Compagnie Universitaire Les Attrape-Corps where she had the privilege of collaborating with the CIE APART. She also became a part of the Collectif Les Nuageux, directed by the inspiring Adélie ESTER. At 20, Kim fully devoted herself to the art of dance by studying it more professionally. She first trained at the Centre de Formation de Danse Désoblique in Lyon. The following year, she joined the FREEROOTS program in Barcelona, where she worked with choreographers Nadine GERSPACHER and Nicolas RICCHINI, where she explored the theatricality of movement. Currently, Kim is a member of SUB.LAB.PRO, The Ensemble Program based in Budapest.

For me, it’s all about being present. Taking time to immerse fully means marvelling endlessly, always finding a new detail to appreciate. Anchoring my body in the present allows me to listen to myself and connect to my instinct. From this grounded place, I’m aware of the energies of my surrounding, the group of people I’m with, the person next to me, the one I’m touching, the one I’m observing, as well as the intensity of the sounds and of the light around me. This attentiveness makes me available to a constantly changing environment. Because it’s not just a matter of being present, it’s a whole game of adjusting that presence to each situation. It’s these 2 things that fascinates me with adaptability and intuition. In this journey, I trust my body, which possesses an inner strength, embraces its vulnerability and plays between gentleness and explosivness. It’s looking for contact, fulfilment and freedom. A curious body that wants to experience everything it can and dive into deep sensations, giving way to a meditative and experimental movement.
