Claude Brumachon is a leading French choreographer of contemporary dance. Since 1992 he has been director at the CCN in Nantes, together with the dancer Benjamin Lamarche. For his pieces created with the latter he has been awarded eight important prizes (among them Les Médicis hors les Murs). They presented the piece “Le Palais des Ventes” in Prague in 1992. He has carried out a number of projects involving foreign artists: projects that focused on the aspect of common creation – the interpersonal and intercultural encounters. He has cooperated with artists from Finland, Chile, Africa and many more countries. SE.S.TA co-produced his choreography “Le Témoin / A Witness” that featured Czech dancers and that was presented at the festival Four Days in Motion in 2003. In general, he prefers long-term cooperation which is why he often offers Czech dancers who were in his pieces in the past to join his company.
