The residency´s mentor: Jean Gaudin (FR)
In 1979 Jean Gaudin based the choregraphic company CJG. From then on he created some 25 pieces and 12 dance videos. Over 120 artists and technicians have worked on those creations and thus contributed to write a singular artistic story in the field of French contemporary dance. While being inspired by various influences always mixing cinema and visual arts, Jean Gaudin’s choregraphic writing is characterised by a free treatment of movement and a strong dramaturgic stand. One must add to this a constant research for permanent dialogue between the stage and the audience. Some have perceived it as a filmlike writing of movement, even comparing it to burlesque works of the 30s, especially those of Buster Keaton.
