A necessarily ancestral practice or just any practice, maybe less old, but which irrigates a culture, builds
it and constitutes it.
PROVISIONAL SCHEDULE Is the tradition necessarily a society concern, thus collective, or can it be also individual? Can it belong
to the history of each one, as well as to the History?

Native from Laos, Olé Khamchanla discovered hip-hop dance in 1990 et learned with different dancers
and choreographers like Farid Azzout, Gabin Nuissier and Storm for hip hop dance, Fred Bedongue and
the Master Beja Flore for capoeïra, Abou Lagraa and Monica Cazadei for contemporary dance, and also
opens to Bûto. Step by step, he finds his style, his own way to dance.
With the company A'CORPS (1997 to 2011), he co-signs several shows which leave his creative mark and
allow him to assert his choreographer's status.
In 2006, he travels to Laos and Thailand to learn traditional dances and to create his first solo, Kham.
This return to his roots offers him to deepen and refine his choreographic language. Since, through
international cooperations actions between Asia and Europe, he continues to enrich his artistic research
and cultural projects in favor of the dance development.
In 2011, he creates his own dance company, Kham in reference to his first solo and creates 4 shows:
Focus (French-Sigaporean trio in 2012), Akalika 1 (solo in 2013), Akalika 7 (7 dancers, 2 versions: French
- Singaporean and French in 2014), Fang Lao (4 dancers and 1 live French-Laotian musician in 2015).
