ATELIER DE PARIS – CAROLYN CARLSON
Go there and contact
As his title indicates, this workshop is more a workplace than a concert room. In spite of this, there is a public rehearsal of creations imagined by companies in residence, as well as pieces given after regular classes organized regularly on the spot. A few choreographers from here: Trisha Brown, Suzanne Linke, Bill T. Jones, Wim Vandekeybus, Michèle-Anne de Mey, Dominique Boivin, Susan Buirge.….......................................................................................................... Cartoucherie, set of buildings where the Paris-Carolyn-Carlson Workshop settled in 1999. The latter bears the name of the famous American dancer and choreographer who chose to live in Paris as early as 1971. This spiritual heir of Alwin Nikolais, on the request of Rolf Liebermann, led the Theater Research Group - GRTOP - from the Paris Opera from 1974 to 1980 as a choreographer. She played a pioneering role in the emergence of the new contemporary French dance. An adept of a dance she happily defines as "visual poetry" - with the essential complicity of musicians like René Aubry or Michel Portal - Carolyn Carlson is also head of the National Choreographic Center of Roubaix Nord-Pas de Calais.
Masterclasses, summerlab and other workshops are organized all year round and allow to professionalize in certain disciplines with high-level artists. These demanding formations are not accessible to beginners, however, and they are best used before engaging.
