UK Premiere. Since 2004 Jerome Bel has initiated a series of biographical solos, each created collaboratively with the dancer whose name the work bears. The most recent of these, Cedric Andrieux, is a self-contemplation of Andrieux’s rich career starting with his training as a contemporary dancer at the Paris Conservatoire, his rigorous eight years with Merce Cunningham Dance Company and more recently his time with the Lyon Opera Ballet. The work includes delightful extracts from pieces Andrieux performed with these companies, including Merce Cunningham’s Biped and Suite for 5 and Trisha Brown’s Newark. Andrieux’s candid account gives the audience a rare and humorous insider’s view into the experience of working with these renowned companies as well as an intimate glimpse into the life of this compelling dancer.
