TERRITORIAL RESIDENCIES
The Kaméléonite company is committed to raising public awareness of contemporary creation. It offers art education projects to residents, building links with local communities.
Since 2012, it has been working with the commune of Le Lamentin as part of the Social Cohesion and City Contract, and in 2024 a new territorial project will be set up with the Petit Manoir secondary school on the company's repertoire.
The company was also based in Saint-Pierre from 2018 to 2021. A city of art and history, Saint-Pierre remains a source of inspiration with its particular breath of fresh air. This town perpetuates the collaboration by welcoming the company’s work in process.
Since 2022, the company has been leading a series of projects with the town of Sainte-Marie : Danse et Territoire 2, Dansarmonie 3 as part of the Contrat de ville programme. La Maison du Bèlè was also a partner in the creation of the piece Terres au Féminin in 2023.

Espaces Montés invited a group of final-year MARVI and DNMADE students from the Lycée Victor Anicet to take part in an artistic and cultural education project at the Rue Monte-au-ciel in Le Fort, district of Saint-Pierre.
The project, divided into 5 phases of workshops and restitution, aimed to raise awareness of the notion of space, its potential for transformation and re-reading, thanks to the body and scenographic material. It fostered interdisciplinarity and departitioning in a collective artistic context that incubated, federated and conveyed meaning.

MORNE DES ESSES SCHOOL, SAINTE-MARIE SCHOOL, COLLEGE EDOUARD GLISSANT, PELLETIER SCHOOL, ASSOCIATION FLEUR DE L'AGE, ASSOCIATION PAVILLONS EN ACTION SAINTE-MARIE - LE LAMENTIN
2020-2022
As part of the Contrat de ville of Lamentin and Sainte-Marie, the company implemented the Dansarmonie projects (educational and participatory dance and body workshops) for school children, teenagers and adults (remote mode) in Le Lamentin.
Based on each participant's spontaneous ideas about the body, its mechanisms and its creative potential, a composition of playful, personal, high-performance sequences accompanied the beneficiaries through a series of workshops. The project to work on the body and well-being may have corresponded to a fundamental need at a time when anything that promotes health through movement and the pleasure of moving one's body was synonymous with resilience.
