Nouvelles pièces courtes

This work consists of several short pieces.

Many  contemporary dance works were created in that way, from George  Balanchine to Merce Cunnin- gham, from Martha Graham to Alwin Nikolais ?  these American choreographers almost always present modular evenings  composed of short pieces.

And more fundamentally, my  interest in the short form comes to me via rock’n roll: short, efficient  tracks gaining in power what they lose in duration.

For  me this system works well for dance, where the composition is often  more poetic than narrative, where the format needs to be adapted to its  subject, to go through different worlds in a same programme and take the  pleasure to get lost.”
