Jean Luc Ducourt (FR)
From 1979 onwards, Jean Luc Ducourt danced for, amongst others in France, Le Four Solaire, Régine Chopinot, Susan Buirge, Georges Appaix, Daniel Larrieu, L'Esquisse before joining Rosas in 1987 ( Mikrokosmos ). Following the production of Ottone Ottone he became Anne Teresa De Keermaeker's assistant and further co-directed Rosas creations until 1993 ("Stella", "Achterland", the film "Rosa", "Erts", "Mozart/Concert Arias"). Since then he created systematically lightdesigns for his own stageworks.
From 1994 onwards, his interests have lain more with theatre as a free lance artist, with a series of productions inspired by Marguerite Duras ("Voix Off" in 1996 and "Rosefeld Theory" in 1998 both produced by Limelight). His creation "I/O Solo" in 2000 marked his return to dance. Then in 2002 "Ballet Labor" starting an approach on abstract composition with ballet dance, he worked with dancers of the Bavarian State Ballet ( Munich).
In 2003 he launched an enigmatic creative process with artists from various other disciplines, which resulted in the performance “Pourquoi quand je te regarde.. “(Monty). In these four last years, he signed also lights and sets for all Mia Lawrence’s pieces (Munich).
In 2004 he started to work with Hooman Sharifi ( Impure Company), for the creation of the duet “The Desert..”( DansinKortrijk ). In May 2005, Kammarspel (text performance for two women based on various Ingmar Bergman’s screenplays) was created for the KunstenFestivalDesArts, Brussels. In the fall of 2006, touring in between his duet with Hooman Sharifi, Jean Luc Ducourt researched for a new stage production, inspired by Paul Claudel’s theatre play “L'annonce faite à Marie ..” , as well for a new dance performance with ballet dancers.
He worked as artistic consultant and production manager on Brice Leroux (Continuum) choreography "QUANTUM-Quintet" for the KunstenFestivalDesArts 2006 in Brussels.
Since 2007 he collaborates with the Kaaitheater together with the composer Alain Franco, resulting in the piece „Figure de voisinages“ with a Solo performed by himself. The new performance is "Works by 3/1 - I Belong To No Repertoire“ and will be shown at the ImPulsTanz-Festival 2008 on the 20th of July.
