Sidi Larbi Cherkaoui, the Belgian-Moroccan dancer, choreographer and artistic director of Geneva's Grand Theatre, speaks to Dheepthika Laurent about his works "Boléro" and "Ihsane". The latter explores his complicated relationship with his late father and is a reference to a homophobic killing in 2012. Through his work, Cherkaoui has explored double culture, queer identity and removing gender boundaries. He also talks about choreographing for others: Beyoncé and Jay-Z's "Apeshit" video clip that was filmed in the Louvre museum and the "Like a Prayer" dance for Madonna's Celebration Tour last year.

Una obra inspirada por la palabra árabe ihsane, que evoca bondad y amabilidad, y por el asesinato homófobo y racista de Ihsane Jarfi en Lieja (Bélgica) en 2012. Una obra en la que el coreógrafo belga también emprende una búsqueda a la memoria de su padre, que murió cuando él era adolescente.

Au Musée Rodin, à Paris, Dior présente sa collection dans un décor qui met en valeur les mosaïques de l'artiste féministe new-yorkaise Faith Ringgold. Salle Pleyel, Stéphane Rolland célèbre, lui, les poèmes de Jacques Prévert et les photographies de Brassaï. Au Palais de Tokyo, enfin, le couturier japonais Yuima Nakazato travaille de concert avec le chorégraphe belge Sidi Larbi Cherkaoui. Si la haute couture n'est pas un art, mais un art appliqué, elle n'en fait pas moins passer des émotions extraordinaires.

At the Rodin Museum Dior presents its latest collection against a décor comprised of mosaics by the New York-based feminist artist Faith Ringgold. At the Salle Pleyel, Stéphane Rolland celebrates the poetry of Jacques Prévert and Brassaï, while at the Palais de Tokyo Japanese couturier Yuima Nakazato works with Belgian choreographer Sidi Larbi Cherkaoui. Couture may officially be considered an applied art, rather than fine art, but it nonetheless has the power to elicit intense emotions.

La saison 24-25 du Grand Théâtre de Genève explore le thème des « Sacrifices » à travers des œuvres d'opéra et de ballet légendaires et contemporaines. Des histoires d'amour tragiques comme Tristan & Isolde et La Traviata côtoient des récits politiques et religieux tels que La Clémence de Titus et Khovantchina. Le ballet contemporain aborde des questions telles que le déracinement et la relation avec la nature. L'artiste Diana Markosian contribue à cette exploration avec ses photographies. La programmation questionne notre rapport aux sacrifices individuels et universels, reflétant les paradoxes humains de notre époque. Sidi Larbi Cherkaoui, directeur du Ballet du Grand Théâtre de Genève nous en parle. 

She has featured in Beyoncé's music videos, choreographed a sell-out stage musical and brought underground nightclub moves to the stage of the Opéra de Paris. Now Josepha Madoki is hosting a weekend of waacking in the Musée d'Orsay's imposing entrance hall; she tells us more about this 1970s queer subculture and how she became France's unofficial queen of waacking. She also tells us about the phone call from her friend and colleague, Sidi Larbi Cherkaoui, which led to a video shoot in the Louvre with Beyoncé and Jay-Z. Plus, Josepha explains why sports and the performing arts are complementary disciplines as she discusses her part in the Paris 2024 Cultural Olympiad.

Jennifer White is a choreographer who occupies a unique sweet spot between RAD ballet, contemporary dance, Kylie and the year's hottest movie: she is the choreographer of Barbie. Greta Gerwig's film includes delirious dance sequences led by Margot Robbie's Barbie and Ryan Gosling as Ken. Those scenes chart the film's trajectory – in Barbie, dance really does matter. Jennifer has also choreographed films like the eerie Last Night in Soho, and worked with leading names in both pop and contemporary dance. And the young Jennifer did RAD ballet: so is Barbie herself RAD-trained? Jennifer White is a London-based movement director, performer and choreographer. She graduated from Rambert School of Ballet and Contemporary Dance. In 2006 she was nominated for the Critics' Circle National Dance Awards for Emerging Artist, and in 2007, was highlighted as a breakthrough artist in The Observer's Hot List. She has toured internationally with Hofesh Shechter, Russell Maliphant, Ballet Boyz and Kylie Minogue, and has choreographed and performed for Adele and Basement Jaxx. She choreographed for Marvel Comic's ‘Avengers – Age of Ultron', where she also coached and was movement double for Elizabeth Olsen, and for Last Night in Soho. She has worked extensively with choreographer Sidi Larbi Cherkaoui. She choreographed Barbie.Find out more about the work of the RADFollow the RAD on social media and join the conversation with host David Jays:Instagram @royalacademyofdanceFacebook @RoyalAcademyofDanceTwitter @RADheadquartersYouTube / royalacademydanceDavid Jays @mrdavidjaysSign up to our mailing list to keep in touch!RAD is an independent educational charity and does not receive regular government funding.

Die Alfred Toepfer Stiftung F.V.S. mit Sitz in Hamburg engagiert sich europaweit auf den Gebieten Kunst und Kultur, Europäische Integration, Bildung, Wissenschaft und Naturschutz. Welche Aufgaben das umfasst und was die Alfred Toepfer Stiftung F.V.S. gemeinsam mit der Kulturstiftung der Länder entwickelt hat, darüber spricht der Vorstandsvorsitzende, Ansgar Wimmer, im Interview mit Hans-Georg Moek. Die Alfred Toepfer Stiftung F.V.S. fördert Menschen mit herausragenden Biografien, die etwas Besonderes bewegen wollen, so Ansgar Wimmer. Das geschieht durch die Vergabe von Stipendien, Preisen, Qualifizierungen oder der Vernetzung verschiedener Akteure. Mit der Kulturstiftung der Länder und weiteren Förderern entwickelte die Stiftung das Projekt museion21, das die Vernetzung und Weiterbildung von Führungskräften im Museumsbereich zum Ziel hat. Die Alfred Toepfer Stiftung F.V.S. vergibt seit 2007 jährlich den KAIROS-Preis. Der mit 75.000 Euro dotierte Preis ist einer der höchstdotierten Kulturpreise in Europa. In diesem Jahr erhält die Künstlerin Agnes Meyer-Brandis den Preis, die Verleihung musste aufgrund der Corona-Krise abgesagt werden. Der Preis soll vielversprechenden Künstlerinnen und Künstlern einen Schub geben und ermutigen. Bisher wurden beispielsweise Shermin Langhoff, Teodor Currentzis oder Sidi Larbi Cherkaoui mit dem Kairos-Preis ausgezeichnet. Mit dem Max-Brauer-Preis zeichnet die Stiftung zudem jährlich Menschen aus, deren Wirken für die Freie und Hansestadt Hamburg bedeutend war. Bisherige Preisträger waren beispielsweise Corny Littmann, Ingo Metzmacher oder Jürgen Flimm. Alfred Toepfer hatte die Stiftung 1931 als „Stiftung F.V.S. zu Hamburg“ gegründet, erst seine Kinder gaben ihr nach seinem Tod (1993) den Namen „Alfred Toepfer Stiftung F.V.S.“ Er selbst habe sich nicht zwischen dem preußischen Reformer Freiherr vom Stein und dem Dichter Friedrich von Schiller entscheiden können und wählte so das für beide passende Kürzel.

Mark Billingham, Val McDermid and Doug Johnstone are well-known for their detective stories, which they write alone. But they come together as members of the band Fun Lovin' Crime Writers. They perform live and talk to Stig Abell about their day jobs, the joys of collaborating as a popular beat combo and the connections between these. They stay on as cultural commentators to give their opinions of Robert De Niro's powerful new role - in an ad for bagels, the temporary ban on the export of the copy of Lady Chatterley's Lover that the judge annotated and brought with him to court when he presided at the famous obscenity trial in 1960, and, closer to home, the list of the 100 best crime novels published since 1945 - of which only 28 are by women. The impact Artificial Intelligence will have on our lives is the subject of the Barbican’s major new exhibition AI: More than Human, which also seeks to challenge our preconceptions. Tech expert Alexandra Deschamps-Sonsino reviews. Medusa is an ancient myth that certainly speaks to our times, abused by a powerful male, she is somehow blamed for this and exacts revenge. The Belgian choreographer Sidi Larbi Cherkaoui has chosen this tale for his first work for the Royal Ballet and has set his dance to songs by Purcell and modern electronic music.

Thomas Fonua is a proud man of Samoan/Tongan descent. Born in New Zealand, Thomas started to dance at the age of seven. His mum saw that he loved to move but showed no interest in sport, so she enrolled him in dance instead. “My work is influenced by my heritage” At the young age of 16, Thomas was offered a two-year apprenticeship with Black Grace, based in Auckland. There are few professional dance opportunities in New Zealand, so gaining full-time employment was a true honour and was the start of a solid, successful career for the young dancer. Thomas was the youngest dancer in the company, with a 10-year age gap between him and the next youngest dancers. This was a significant period of growth and cemented his passion for dance. During this time Thomas toured numerous works through Europe, Asia, North America and Canada as one of the company’s leading dancers. In 2010, Thomas was invited to participate in The Banff Centre’s Indigenous Dance Residency. Thomas participated in the program for many years before being invited to take up a position as a faculty member. As a faculty member, he helps by working with and mentoring Indigenous dancers from all over the world. Thomas has since worked for Red Sky Performance in Canada, where he is an associate artist. He has worked on productions including Migration (2011) and inSIGNia (2013). Thomas has also worked with artists including Sandra Laronde, Neil Ieremia, Rafael Bonachela, Sidi Larbi Cherkaoui, Jock Soto, Douglas Wright, Raewyn Hill, Ross McCormack and Garry Stewart. Thomas joined Australian Dance Theatre (ADT) in 2015. Subsequently, he has performed in works including Proximity, Be Your Self, Doppelganger and Habitus. He has also had his work MALAGA programmed as part of ADT’s Ignition program, which seeks to foster the next generation of choreographers. His work MALAGA explored the dark past of human zoos or ‘Volkershau’, in which individuals were brought in from colonial frontiers, for European audiences. This work drew upon ideas of exhibition, captivity and exoticism. I spoke to Thomas, in the lead up for a performance of Be Your Self, soon to open in Melbourne, the first time it will be performed in the Victorian capital. Be Your Self is a significant work for Thomas, being the first work he danced in for ADT as a guest artist during the work’s 2014 tour of Indonesia. Be Your Self is also one of his favourite pieces to perform: “Because it is so much fun” Be Your Self was created by Garry Stewart, and examines how the body is central to our identity and that our notion of the ‘self’ is indeed located in our bodies. Thomas is a fascinating and passionate dancer who will continue to bring more to the world of contemporary dance. This interview is a wide ranging discussion, which includes everything from RuPaul – “the unsung hero” – to studying business, performing in drag and what it means to be an Indigenous dancer, to preparing for performances and how Thomas aims for the future. You can find out more about Thomas Fonua on the ADT website. Check out the fabulous archive of dance makers and leaders including: Meryl Tankard, Daniel Jaber & Gideon Obarzanek And stay tuned for future episodes in this season, focussing on the experience of those currently who are dancing. This season will capture a true diversity of experiences, including Samantha Hines (ex ADT dancer, subsequently working with Dancenorth and Stephanie Lake), Melanie Lane (choreographer and performer based between Berlin and Melbourne) and Gareth Chambers (Cardiff-based Visual Dance artist recently in Australia for YIRRAMBOI festival) If you have enjoyed this episode please consider leaving a donation.

Drawing on two decades worth of award-winning poetry, Marilyn Hacker’s generous selections in A Stranger’s Mirror include work from four previous volumes along with twenty-five new poems, ranging in locale from a solitary bedroom to a refugee camp. In a multiplicity of voices, Hacker engages with translations of French and Francophone poets. Her poems belong to an urban world of cafés, bookshops, bridges, traffic, demonstrations, conversations, and solitudes. From there, Hacker reaches out to other sites and personas: a refugee camp on the Turkish/Syrian border; contrapuntal monologues of a Palestinian and an Israeli poet; intimate and international exchanges abbreviated on Skype—perhaps with gunfire in the background. A Stranger’s Mirror is not meant only for poets. These poems belong to anyone who has sought in language an expression and extension of his or her engagement with the world—far off or up close as the morning’s first cup of tea. Marilyn Hacker is the recipient of the National Book Award, the PEN Award for Poetry in Translation, the Robert Fagles Translation Prize, and the PEN/Voelcker Award for Poetry. Her collection Winter Numbers received a Lambda Literary Award and the Lenore Marshall Award of the Academy of American Poets. She lives in Paris, France. A Stranger’s Mirror was longlisted for the National Book Award. Poet and dance producer/curator, Karthika Naïr was born in Kerala and lives in Paris. Naïr is the author of Bearings (HarperCollins India, 2009), a poetry collection and The Honey Hunter/Le Tigre de Miel (Young Zubaan, India/Editions Hélium, France, 2013), a children’s book illustrated by Joëlle Jolivet. She was also the principal scriptwriter of DESH, choreographer Akram Khan’s award-winning dance production. In Karthika Naïr’s résumé as an enabler, one finds mention of Sidi Larbi Cherkaoui, Damien Jalet, Käfig/Mourad Merzouki, two Olivier awards, Auditorium Musica per Roma, the Louvre, the Shaolin Temple, misadventures with ninja swords and pachyderms, among others, many of which make their way willy-nilly into her poetry (though, hopefully, not into this retelling of the Mahabharata)."

In this second of three episodes, Aakash talks about his first encounter with celebrated British dancer and choreographer Akram Khan and how their meeting changed the course of his destiny. In 2011, Akram and world-renowned choreographers Sidi Larbi Cherkaoui and Russell Maliphant each made a solo for Aakash who also contributed his own work to create the full evening program Rising. Aakash then speaks of his involvement in the choreographic project James Brown: Get on the Good Foot.

In this second episode, Akram Khan describes his fascination with learning about the science of movement and the similarities and contradictions of ballet, contemporary dance and kathak. This exploration leads to the development of his signature style and the creation of a short solo followed by a more substantial piece that attract media and public attention. Akram comments on his jewel relationship with Farooq Chaudhry, producer and co-founder of Akram Khan Company, and his collaborations with Sidi Larbi Cherkaoui, Israel Galván, Juliette Binoche and Sylvie Guillem.

Dans ce troisième et dernier épisode, Anne Michaud poursuit son entretien avec Louis Robitaille qui fait le bilan de ses 15 années au sein de BJM – Les Ballets Jazz de Montréal, et décrit le cadeau que Benjamin Millepied, chorégraphe du film Le Cygne noir, nouveau Directeur de la Danse de l'Opéra de Paris, et conjoint de l'actrice américaine Natalie Portman, a offert à BJM pour son 40e anniversaire. Louis discute ensuite des défis à relever et de ses plans d'avenir qui incluent Sidi Larbi Cherkaoui, Rodrigo Pederneiras et Nacho Duato.

Entretien mené par Rosita Boisseau, journaliste pour le Monde, le magazine Danser et Télérama, dans le cadre de la collection Dancer’s Studio. Sidi Larbi Cherkaoui a débuté comme chorégraphe en 1999 dans Anonymous Society, une comédie musicale contemporaine d’Andrew Wale. Depuis lors, il a signé de nombreuses chorégraphies, qui lui ont valu une série de prix parmi lesquels le Fringe First Award, le Barclay Theatre Award à Londres, le Special Prize au BITEF Festival de Belgrade, le prix Nijinski à Monte-Carlo, le Movimentos, le Helpmann Award en Australie.Pour clôturer la soirée des Nijinski Awards, destinés à récompenser les artistes et productions chorégraphiques les plus importants de la scène internationale actuelle, le chorégraphe Sidi Larbi Cherkaoui propose une pièce originale (In Memoriam) créée exclusivement pour l’occasion avec les danseuses et danseurs des Ballets de Monte-Carlo et en collaboration avec l’ensemble vocal corse : A Filetta. La pureté de la polyphonie Corse se mêle étroitement à la poésie des corps. Sidi Larbi Cherkaoui fait advenir l’harmonie sur scène.

In this final episode, Sidi Larbi Cherkaoui describes his introduction to the world of oral traditional music and the place music occupies in his creative process. He also comments on his reaction to first seeing the work of Akram Khan, Pina Bausch and Dave St-Pierre, and to receiving the Alfred Toëpfer Stiftung Kairos prize in recognition of his artistic philosophy and quest for cultural dialogue.

In this second episode, Sidi Larbi Cherkaoui explains that his dance work Babel is a continuation of Foi, Myth, Zero Degrees and Sutra. He then comments on his collaborations with the monks of China's Shaolin temple, Les Ballets de Monte Carlo, Cullberg Ballet, and The Royal Danish Ballet.

In this first of three episodes, Flemish-Moroccan choreographer-dancer Sidi Larbi Cherkaoui speaks about his late introduction to dance and how winning a Belgian dance contest put him on the path of Wim Vandekeybus and Alain Platel. While studying at PARTS, the school founded by Anne Teresa De Keersmaeker and Bernard Foccroulle, Larbi is exposed to the work of William Forsythe, Trisha Brown and Pina Bausch which combines sociological knowledge and dance. This approach resonates deeply with him. He joins les ballets C de la B and, within a few years, creates a series of highly-acclaimed dance works.
