I'm now back from Montpellier where I was this year's Artiste Associé of the Festival Montpellier Danse. The Festival director Jean-Paul Montanari gave me the opportunity to invite Mery Tankard with the European première of "The Oracle" and Franko B with his piece "I'm thinking of you" (the first time Franko performed in France). Both performances were very well received - as well as "Les après-midi de Raimund H.". Six times I created these meetings in the afternoon at Salle Béjart/Agora. Only for one night and only for Montpellier I created with Ornella Balestra, Lorenzo De Brabandere, Emmanuel Eggermont and my artistic collaborator Luca Giacomo Schulte the performnce "Montpellier, 4 Juillet 2011". This evening in the Cour de l'Agora was a very strong experience for all of us - full of memories from different pieces, performed under the sky, without theatre light, but with the sun going down, the sound of the birds, sand on the floor, and the awareness that this performance will never be repeated - a performance just for a moment.

The season 2011/12 will start for me in September in New York with a residency for my new piece "Pas de Deux"; a duet with the Japanese dancer Takashi Ueno. With the rehearsals at Baryshnikov Arts Centre I can continue the collaboration with the French Institute Alliance Francaise (FIAF) in New York who made this residency possible. The première of "Pas de Deux" will be in November during the Festival d'Automne á Paris in the Théâtre de la Cité Internationale.

You'll always find updated schedules of my work on this website, which I've developed together with Jacqy Gantenbrink.
