June 2017
A duet, two solos. Rachid Ouramdane explores the delicate space between therapy and poetry in two intimate and modest portraits. He pushes forward his subtle art compositions and focuses on the simplicity and clarity of movement of the two female dancers. With a hushed narrative, self-conscious revelation and patience, a story of two artists who have been close to his work for many years emerges.
This is the story of Lithuanian dancer Lory, who, spinning dizzily in place, created her own method of movement, which has been a pillar and comfort for her since childhood. It is the story of British dancer Annie, moving with a prosthetic arm, which is both an extension and an integral part of her body. Each of them has in their own way developed their know-how and body language.
Rachid Ouramdane (FR)
Rachid Ouramdane is making arts project since 1995. He is Associate artist to the Théâtre de la ville in Paris and to the Bonlieu théâtre in Annecy.
He is regularly invited to many collaborations: with the Lyon Opera Ballet (Superstars - 2006, All around - 2014); for the dancers of the Russian company Migrazia during a residence in Siberia for the Intradance project (Russia) (« Borscheviks... a true story...» - 2010); and for the 20 years birthday of Candoco Dance Company (UK) with disabled dancers (Looking back - 2011).
Since Rachid Ouramdane founded L’A. dance company, his work is based on a meticulous collection of evidences, in collaboration with filmmakers or authors. So he tries the art of dance to contribute to social debates through choreographic pieces that develop a poetics of testimony.
Alongside his creative projects, Ouramdane is working to enhance the transmission and ex- change through the management of international workshops for artistic research in France, Romania, Nether-lands, Brazil, United States...Yoann Bourgeois and Rachid Ouramdane codirect the CCN2 - Centre Chorégraphique National de Grenoble from the 1st January 2016.
