Modern Technique
to open the centre of the body towards the extremities
Corinne Lanselle accentuates contemporary dance technique, influenced by martial arts and Feldenkrais – that means by the support of the body in space, by the 8 as a base in movement, by the connection of pelvis and head, the connection of feet and hands to discover an articulated freedom and to open the centre towards the extremities. All this with the goal to strengthen the vitality of the movement.
To the advanced she will offer a higher complexity of the combinations, harder technical challanges, and the emphasis on speed, dynamics and risks.
Corinne LanselleAfter her dance studies of Horton and Limon technique, amongst others, in New York the French dancer, choroegrapher and teacher Corinne Lanselle returned to Paris. She started her own company in 1986 with which she has created and toured 15 pieces since then. All of them underlined her approach fusing theater, dance, music and martial dance. In April 2002 her last piece « Fabrik », a trio for two men and one woman, was presented in Paris. Her international recognition is based on her sense of humor and her great sensibility dedicated to dance.
She has been setting up training programs by developing relations and partnerships with other artists (dancers, actors, visual artists, musicians, video directors), by allowing a mix between these different disciplines with Le Cirque Baroque (a famous new circus in France), cooperations with Gabriel Cousin, with the Théâtre de la Ville in Paris and the DV8 Company, with Black Blanc Beur, with Mary Stephen and Eric Rohmer. She is the director of a dance school supported by the French government and artistic director of the festival Pré-Tendanse dedicated to young artists taking place every September at the Café de la Danse in Paris.
