Content:

Edouard Hue offers three intense workshop days built around his choreographic material. The days will begin with a physical dance class, delving deep into a multitude of movement qualities through different tools and tasks. These moments are focused on the evolution of the body and its possibilities, notably using improvisational techniques. The rest of the time is dedicated to learning company repertoire from the solo FORWARD, blending fluid and bestial movements together. The complex choreography is demanding and physically tiring, requiring a high degree of bodily precision.
About Edouard Hue:

Edouard Hue, who began as a hip hop dancer before joining the contemporary dance program of Conservatoire d’Annecy, and then the Ballet Junior de Genève, is first and foremost a performer who puts his physicality in service of pure movement. As a performer, he has experience with choreographic extremes, working with Hofesh Shechter, Damien Jalet, Olivier Dubois and swiftly developing his own unique style, mixing masterful virtuosity and playful spontaneity. He received the
Swiss Dance Prize “Exceptional Dancer” in 2019. He naturally turned to choreography, pulling from his professional experience, on his quest for independence, to develop his own choreographic language.
