Randonnée Chorégraphique is a choreographic hike created by Laurent Pichaud and Julie Perrin with Melanie Kloetzel, Vicky Hunter and Karen Barbour. Taking place in the French countryside, outside of the small town of Évelle, as part of a site-specific performance festival, the hike offered the audience-participants a view into the dance history of rural areas both in France and internationally. Pichaud and Perrin teamed up with visual artist Nicolas Lelièvre to create a “choreographic topoguide”, which helped develop a dramaturgical  ‘twinning’ of the rural French location with those of distant site dance choreographies.

The work premiered in 2024 and acted as a pilot project for the In Situ/Site Dance International working group. This project was supported by the Fondation de France, s-sud art/site, and CDCN Le Dancing Dijon Bourgogne-Franche-Comté.
