About the CREATION
Originally coming from urban dance, Leïla quickly oriented herself towards a mix of practices and developed her work from merging genres that go beyond the conventions and codes from which they are composed. After having worked as a performed, most notably for Maguy Marin – where she discovered a danced theatricality that remains an important form of possibilities in her own choreographic work – she launched into the creation of her first piece Pode ser. In this solo, awarded by 5 international prizes, and performed yet more than 60 times, she flirts freely with contemporary urban dance and theater in an attempt to illustrate the complexity and difficulty of being.
Leïla Ka began her journey with urban dances which she quickly mixed with other influences. After having worked as a performer (notably for Maguy Marin) where she discovered a danced theatricality that she would retain as a possible form of enrichment of her own writing, she embarked on the creation of her first piece Pode ser.
In this solo, awarded 5 times internationally and performed more than 140 times since its creation in 2018, she freely flirts with contemporary urban dances and theater to try to illustrate the complexity and difficulty of being, a theme that she takes up and deals with on a community scale in a second piece, the duet C'est toi qu'on adore and in a third creation, again a solo, "Se faire la belle".
Leïla is currently working on a group piece and is an associate artist at CENTQUATRE-PARIS, at La Garance, the national scene in Cavaillon, in long-term residence at L'espace 1789 and is accompanied by the Tremplin network - support for emerging choreographers - until 2024.
