"papier peint" (2019) Drawing by Cécile Louvel

I am dancer, choreographer and professor of contemporary dance of trade.
Since the age where one starts to hold a pencil, I always continued to draw whatever the circumstances of my life, like a complement and a balancing with my other forms of expression.
I have a dominating taste for the composition and the creativity in themselves. The composition like a combination of spaces, an arrangement of the features, forms, colors, vacuums and the full ones.
These are the arrangements which give direction, they are in themselves my imaginary worlds. Features, spacings, tonalities, colors and their combinations then describe energies, a certain symbolism, or even a “history”, a history impossible to reduce in words, or then a “history” which would comprise a multitude of it, by the glance that each one would carry there. In continuous research, the discovery of a new technique allows me the expression of a different facet. I approach the “white page” as a ludic adventure without a priori, like a freedom to tame each time: first gesture, carried out randomly or first constraint that I am given, until where will I “travel”? At which moment to stop me? To be able to detect the secrecies so that “it goes”… I am in search of a certain balance – until in imbalance sometimes. What there is of commun run with the dance: the research of the gesture “right”, flexible and alive.

I have two works which were published:
“TERRITOIRES IMPROBABLES” - collection of poems and 'oneiric' graphics published by “Les Dossiers d'Aquitaine” - appeared at the beginning of December 2013

“LA DANCE JAZZ ET SES FONDAMENTAUX” – test concerning the specific qualities with this style of dance - edition the Harmattan – 2007
