To start the week on a high note, I wanted to share with you this behind-the-scenes of Daft Punk music video directed by Michel Gondry and for which I did the choreography. 🪩

The idea was to represent each instrument with a different movement. I also wanted to have a mix of various dance styles and techniques, and I remember it was very inspiring to see the dancers observing each other and learning from one another during rehearsals. Such good memories!

I'll never forget that emotional moment when Frédéric welcomed me to the Académie des Beaux-arts with such a delicate and warm speech. We're already feeling the absence of his humor, generosity, and intellect. Rest easy, my friend. 🕊️

Sending my deepest condolences to his family during this tough time. ✨

He'll be sorely missed. Merci Frederic pour ton amitié si fidèle et ton amour pour la culture.

Yesterday I had the honor of welcoming, with the other members of the Academy, the great Annie Leibovitz as a foreign associate member of the Académie des beaux-arts 🌿

Following her speech, gave us a beautiful live performance of « Peaceable Kingdom ». At the end of the ceremony, the one and only Anna Wintour presented Annie Lebovitz with her academician’s sword.

Congratulations Annie and welcome to this beautiful institution!

Thank you CHANEL for my academician costume and Christian Louboutin for my unique 👠

Artistic and cultural education is one of the pillars of our company, demonstrated through our commitment to students from Seine-Saint-Denis, le Département where our studios are located through the "Culture and Art in Middle School" (CAC) program.

The program was built around the creation of the show "Rite of Spring" starting last year with an initial meeting at the Philharmonie alongside Abd Al Malik. Our goal is to prepare students for the professional world and give them the tools to build confidence through understanding movement and dance.

Several workshops are offered related to dance practice, production, and company administration. These different sessions are led by our dancers, assistant choreographers, and company members.

Next week, we will welcome students from Gustave Courbet Middle School in Romainville to the company's studios for two hours of rehearsals of “Rite of Spring”!

/ CREATION IN PROGRESS: RITE OF SPRING /

The original “Rite of Spring” ballet created by Vaslav Nijinski and Igor Stravinsky marked a major artistic turning point in the history of dance, and I’m very excited to take on this new challenge intertwining dance, music and poetry with Abd Al Malik and David Grimal! 🎼

Come and see us in April!

If you’re going to visit the group exhibition “Lacan : l’exposition” which is currently on show at Centre Pompidou-Metz, you will get the chance to see the short film “Séances” we made in 2004 with my dear friend Pablo Reinoso.

The idea of the film was to offer a subversion of therapy sessions usually organized around the traditional consultation couch, but in a humorous way.
