En Danseuse - Lenio Kaklea
En danseuse is a piece of work choreographed, based on a creative process that focuses on the body of the choreographer-dancer. A series of collaborations of Alain Michard with several choreographers from different generations, and varied backgrounds led to the birth of this piece, a ‘collection of dances’ with scenography using sound and video.
En danseuse is made of a scenographic installation which combines images of dance and sounds. Is it thought of as a confrontation between two choreographical forms, but also between two memories. It offers to audiences several ways of looking at the work, and appeals to their own memories of dance.
En danseuse is based on the idea that the body of the choreographer is the very source of their work, and carries within himself/herself a true History of dance. Vast and unique, this dance History is made of dances which have been lived, but also dances that have been seen or dreamt, and of everything that has fit in with ‘choreographic material’. En danseuse questions the role of images, and how they are active both in memory and in the choreographic gesture.
Lenio Kaklea is a dancer, choreographer and writer born in Athens. She dances for Alexandra Bachzetsis, Claudia Triozzi, François Chaignaud & Cecilia Bengolea and Boris Charmatz among others. Lucinda Childs writes a solo for her in 2013 on the music of Ryoji Ikeda. Her choreographic work explores the production of subjectivity through the organized repetition and transmission of movements. It is presented at the Centre Pompidou, ImPulsTanz, Athens & Epidaurus Festival, Lafayette Anticipations foundation and CND Pantin, among others. Her books are published by les presses du réel. In 2019 she is awarded the Dance Prize of the Hermès Italia Foundation and the Triennial of Milan. In 2020 her work enters the collection of the KADIST Foundation.
Alice Gautier
Alice Gautier is a visual artist whose research focuses mainly on video, in its encounter
with the cinema, performance and dance fields. Through the writing of movement and the
composition of bodies, the work of rhythm and presence, she experiments with different
ways of telling a story, through a film, a performance, a piece. Since 2012, she has
collaborated with artists such as Alain Michard, Loïc Touzé and Daphné Achermann on
stage and film projects. She intervenes in workshops that cross dance practices and
image practices.
Michard, Alain
Alain Michard is a choreographer and visual artist. Starting with dance as his ‘roots’, his work today involves leading a wide range of different artistic projects, using a variety of artistic media (music, film, photography, writing).
Alain Michard collaborates regularly with other artists. He also invites local people and non-professionals to participate in the work he creates.
A common thread in his work is the theme of wandering and journeys, and the search for a community: BING, based on texts by Beckett, Parkinson (2007-2013). Some pieces are designed for public spaces, and explore perception, and the imaginary essence of towns and landscapes: Promenades blanches (2006-2016), Se fondre (2012), Caravane, ...
Another important focus of his work is research on the notion of a collective history of art, based on living memory and documents: École ouverte, J’ai tout donné, Mon Histoire avec la danse, La carpe et le lapin,...
His films include documentaries and fiction, some of which are based on his relationship with dance (Ascension, Carton, Encore chaud ...). Recently, he has made two fictional films: ON AIR in 2010, and Clandestine (a feature length film) in 2014.
Alain Michard supports and produces other artists (Theo Kooijman, Laurent Pichaud, Mickaël Phelippeau, Alice Gautier ...), in his role as artistic director of different festivals, residencies and events, such as À domicile in Guissény (2007-2009).
His role as producer allows him to support young artists at the beginning of their careers. The passing on of knowledge is important for him, and his pedagogical work is an integral part of, and articulates with, his creative work, which is open to artists, students and non-professionals.
His work has led him to a diversity of places and countries :
IN FRANCE : Paris (Théâtre de la Cité Internationale, Centre National de la Danse, Labos d’Aubervilliers, Centre Pompidou, Grande Halle La Villette, ...), Rennes (PHAKT, Biennale, Triangle, Musée de la danse), Brest, Nantes (Théâtre Universitaire), Marseille (Théâtre du Merlan, Marseille Objectif Danse), Bordeaux (TNT, Novart), Avignon (Hivernales), Marne-la-Vallée (Ferme du Buisson), ...
ABROAD: Italy (Musée Pan-Naples, Osservatorio Nomade-Cursi), Japan (Kyoto, Tokyo, Yokohama, Matsuyama), Canada (Escales improbables-Montréal), Turkey (Istanbul, Eskisehir, Ankara), Portugal (Fondation Serralves-Porto,), UK (Portsmouth), Germany (Berlin), Belgium (Brussels, Antwerp), Switzerland (Geneva), Ireland (DTI-Dublin)…
As a performer he has worked principally for Odile Duboc, Marco Berrettini, Boris Charmatz, Xavier Marchand (theatre) and Judith Cahen (cinema).
He has collaborated on various different projects with other artists, including: Nicolas Floc’h, Mathias Poisson, Jocelyn Cottencin, Stalker, and choreographers Mustafa Kaplan, Loïc Touzé...
He has received awards from the Villa Kujoyama-Kyoto (2001) and the Villa Médicis Hors les murs-Istanbul (2009).
