Zapping Box by Le Fil Mauve

Le Fil Mauve: pole, dance and theater duo.

Imagine that you are sitting in front of your TV screen, zapping involuntarily from one channel to another. Bizarrely, you see scenes that remind you of programs that have been broadcast all over the world. You zap through concepts and emotions with two poles as the sole setting.

Here is the challenge that the duo Le Fil mauve, composed of Veronica Cruz and Sarah Cavenaile, will present to you: a combination of contemporary and pole dance, acrobatics, theatre, and acrobalance.

Pole Fusion Competition - Part One

During the first Belgian Pole Festival, Sarahcademy organized a real Pole Fusion Competion. Theme was "Fusion"

The concept of “fusion” means the combination of pole dance with all kinds of dance, performing arts and/or theatrical performances, as well as a mix of age, gender and size. It encourages group choreographies of any kind and research into new ways of conceiving pole dance or the performer-audience relationship and these were the competitors:

and these were the competitors during the first part:

1. Emilie Tranchard, a professional firefighter who used fire as part of her act

2. Magali Flamme

3. Patty Lou, who explored the masculine side of pole dancing

4. Ambre Loiseaux and Nada Malusa, revisting the fairy tale of Pinocchio

5. Tine Poullet, het Opperpaalbeest :)
