Outreach

Compagnie MehDia’s philosophy is to put encounters in the spotlight. That is why we offer many outreach formats to share and pass on the dance, history and values of hip-hop with audiences at the venues where we perform and in the surrounding areas.

We are listed on the PASS CULTURE (French national culture pass) for schools

Compagnie MehDia’s project is driven by a desire to reach out to audiences.

Today, through its choreographic creation and outreach activities, the company aims to be a vehicle for messages, sharing and emotions for all generations.

Our philosophy is to encourage each person’s artistic singularity and thus to value diversity. We draw our energy from choreographic creation and, alongside it, offer a range of introductions to hip-hop dance.

For everyone, we champion an approach to teaching that is artistic, educational, active, playful and multidisciplinary. We strive to pass on these values in all our projects. Introducing people to dance is at the heart of our project!

Our different types of activity aim to introduce people to dance, hip-hop in particular, along three paths: attending choreographic pieces, experimenting in practical workshops, and sharing knowledge.

Each one can serve as audience engagement around the shows or around dance. Together we can build a programme tailored to your objectives.

With the aim of reaching everyone, the company offers different formats with a range of objectives. Our approaches include:

Our approaches

  1. Creative work

    Work-in-progress showings, open rehearsals, post-show talks after our performances. These moments offer an immersion in the artists’ work through the pieces we present.

  2. Workshops

    One-off, regular, focused on choreographic creation… They can take different forms to best support students in their artistic practice.

  3. Discussions

    Lectures, teacher training… because we believe that exchange also means sharing knowledge and points of view.
