In 1999\, the team of Les Colporteurs teamed up with that of the Les Nouveaux Nez to imagine\, in Ardèche\, what became La Cascade\, National Circus Pole of Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes\, of which they are since partners. In 2000\, after a serious accident\, Antoine Rigot must abandon wire-dancing\, but resumes work as an actor\, and engages in writing and stage direction. He conceives and directs the shows of Les Colporteurs : Diabolus in Musica (2003)\, Le Fil sous la Neige (2006)\, Hautes Pointures and Tarina (2007)\, Sur la Route… (2009)\, Le Bal des Intouchables (2012) \, Le Chas du Violon (2014)\, Evohé (2015)\, Sous la toile de Jheronimus (2017) and Le retour des papillons\, an exit show for Fratellini Academy students (2017). In 2018\, following the creation\, Méandres\, shared with Agathe\, Antoine Rigot directed\, along with Alice Ronfard\, the show F(r)iction for the 30th graduating class of CNAC. In 2019\, Antoine directed with Julien Lambert the show TOYO!\, a musical and acrobatic duo for young audiences. In 2022\, Antoine Rigot and Agathe Olivier create a new show under the big top with ten circus artists and musicians \, Coeurs Sauvages\, actually on tour in France and Europe. \nThe company Les Colporteurs produces and performs these shows under its big top\, indoors and in the public space\, in France and abroad. \nThe company Les Colporteurs is supported by the DRAC Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes\, the Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes Region\, Department of Ardeche and the City of Le Teil d’Ardèche. \nGilles Charles-Messance – tight-rope artist contorsionist\nIt all started for Gilles in 1977 when he walked into Annie Fratellini and Pierre Étaix’s circus. He was new to this world\, as they say. He started off being an acrobat\, then he created a circus act on a trampoline as well as a fixed trapeze act thanks to which he worked at Arlette Gruss’s circus\, then in several traditional circuses\, including Monti in Switzerland\, or Alexis Gruss. Later on\, he performed a flying trapeze act thanks to which he joined the Arts Sauts\, and a Washington trapeze act with which he began a long collaboration with the company Les Colporteurs. Gilles hates to say he works\, he’d rather say he has fun while making the audience happy. \nColine Rigot – musician\nAs the daughter of tightrope artists\, Agathe Olivier and Antoine Rigot\, Coline has always known the tricks of the trade… of contemporary Circus. During Volière Dromesko tour that Coline first walked on a rope and she started learning the violin with Hungarian Gypsy musicians of the company. Later on\, Coline alternated between learning the violin at the classical music academy\, and improvisation workshops with Carl Shlosser\, a saxophone player – jazz composer of the first show of Les Colporteurs\, Filao. Gradually she developed a poetic language combining rope and violin.\nAfter receiving the classical gold medal at the music Avignon academy and after learning jazz\, in Didier Lockwood’s class\, Coline led her life\, sometimes with circus\, including three creations with Les Colporteurs as musician or tightrope artist\, sometimes as theatre musician with FootsBar\, or even as violinist with collectives of travelling musicians\, such as Tchabadjo and Les Poissons Voyageurs. \nAbout Aaron Fernandes Entertainement\nAaron Fernandes is working as a producer on the tour of “Our Daily Performance” in India. He is an astute and well-traveled professional\, his expertise lies in building long term relationships with partners as well as finding immediate solutions to seemingly unsolvable problems. He founded Aaron Fernandes Entertainment (AFE) in Mumbai\, India in March 2020.

They will contribute\, with Indian artists and students\, to make India always more shiny !  \nEach city preserves the traces of the passage of the Wall Art festival\, redrawing the cities\, by its colours and its stories.\n \nWe have developed local and national media coverage\, contributing to the success of the influence of the cities\, the artists\, and bringing pride to the inhabitants! \n        View this post on Instagram            A post shared by Alliance Française Chandigarh (@alliancefrancaisechandigarh)  A third edition full of promise!The 4 wall-artists Sandre\, Super Bab\, Jace & Millerink will be crossing the country to look for fresh paintings! \nNew this year\, Sri Lanka joins the adventure for a festival beyond borders!

After studying animation\, she ventured off the beaten path and sought to showcase her art for all to see by creating murals in the streets of Paris as well as in numerous countries such as Cambodia\, Vietnam\, and Belgium. \nShe also creates mappings for events and animations on immersive devices\, such as at the Atelier des Lumières in Paris. \nHer style is situated on the border between naive\, surreal\, and ironic narration\, composed of cartoonish characters that are highly colorful and nuanced. Working on large-scale curves allows her the freedom to fully express her movements while bringing her various characters to life. \nSuper Bab\, born in 1993\, he created his first graffiti at the age of 13. In the following years\, he honed his graffiti techniques and explored other avenues such as painting\, drawing\, watercolor\, printmaking\, and ceramics. \nWhile studying at the Beaux-Arts in Paris\, he learned better academic techniques and developed his drawing skills as well as his personal style. \nStarting with a conventional drawing\, he adds an abstract touch\, particularly influenced by famous surrealist paintings such as those by Miró and Picasso. He also incorporates elements from outsider art and tribal art. \nAashti Miller is an architect\, illustrator and graphic designer. She was born and raised in Mumbai\, and studied Architecture at Cornell University in Ithaca\, New York. \nShe is the sole force behind MillerInk\, an illustration and graphic design studio. She constructs her drawings in an attempt to make sense of the unexpected collision of her two seemingly disparate worlds. \nAs a result\, her aesthetic and style have evolved into detailed drawings that tread the fine line between constructed and painted\, digital and analog\, two and three dimensional. Her work is heavily inspired by and explores spaces\, places\, and faces. \nJace started out as a street painter. For years\, after starting at the age of eleven by repainting his bike in shimmering vermillion red\, he traveled around the island of La Réunion and put his name up everywhere\, influenced by the hip-hop movement and lowbrow art\, although he considers himself free from any particular influence. \nAs a street artist\, he was critical of his own work\, feeling that it was not personal or identifiable enough. So he created a partner\, a teammate who became a legend before his creator: the Gouzou.

SUMMARY:Urban agriculture
DESCRIPTION:Today\, India has about 30 % of people living in urban areas. The urban population is likely to increase to 50% by 2050. Such an explosion in urban population raises questions of food security and economic issues hastened by other issues such as climate change.  \nUrban agriculture is one of the sustainable tools which can help in solving this issue\, becoming the “savior of rapid urbanization”. Not very widespread in India\, research on urban agriculture has been growing steadily in France in the past ten years. It has been more and more recognized as an efficient tool for creating more resilient cities\, help fight climate change by creating cooling areas\, help retain water in soils\, create biodiversity spots within the cities and create bio-waste that can be reused as natural fertilizers. On top of all\, it is a very powerful tool to create social bonds within the inhabitants of a neighborhood. \nThere are several forms of urban agriculture. Some are geared towards producing sufficient amounts of food to feed a population in need (subsistence agriculture). Others are more geared towards creating social bonds. The other forms are hybrid\, oscillating between these two primary objectives.   \n In this series of conferences\, we wish to discuss the benefits as well as shortfalls of urban agriculture in various contexts\, keeping in mind that this practice cannot be applied in a uniformed manner across different territories.  \nThis series of conference will take place in the presence of two representatives of the French Association for Urban Agriculture\, created in 2016\, that will be invited to come from France for a week-long stay: \nFlore-Anaïs Brunet is the Urban Agriculture Project Manager at the “Le Mouvement des Régies\,” a national network of 130 social inclusion and community development associations operating in underprivileged areas in France. With a background in horticulture and landscape engineering\, along with numerous study trips to Latin America and Europe\, she specializes in socially-oriented urban agriculture after working in a botanical garden and landscape design offices in Paris and Berlin.  \nShe possesses strong skills in network facilitation\, event organization\, and project support for multifunctional urban agriculture initiatives in low-income neighborhoods. She is also certified in permaculture. As the vice-president of AFAUP since 2019\, she has a national understanding of the urban agriculture sector in France and represents socially-oriented urban agriculture projects\, associations\, and inclusion organizations.   \nShe particularly enjoys forging connections at various levels\, fostering collective thinking\, and facilitating professional networks to contribute to more fertile and peaceful communities.  \nMarie Fiers is an agricultural engineer specialized in microbial ecology research. She has founded a counseling and engineering bureau in urban agriculture in France and specializes in hydroponics. A member of the French Association for Urban Agriculture since its creation\, she has been a board member before becoming a full-time employee. Marie is fascinated by the interactions between two worlds that we tend to oppose rather than connect – the rural and the urban worlds. She works out of Burgundy in France and her mission is to develop evaluation tools for assessing the benefits of urban agriculture as well as create synergies with European networks of urban agriculture. \nProgramme2023\n\n\n\n\nDate\nTime\nVenue\nProgramme\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n15 October 2023\n\nDelhi\nWorkshop: Beginner’s Guide to Urban Farming Sow some seeds!\n\n\n16 October 2023\n4 pm\nDelhi\nDiscussion: Urban agriculture: a tool for more sustainable\, resilient and inclusive cities?
