Biographie: Born to a German mother and a British father, Benjamin Coyle has been living for 9 years in Lyon and recently started working in Berlin. From 2006 till 2010, he studied Contemporary Dance at the National Conservatory of Dance and Music in Lyon (CNSMD) He performed at the Young Ballet of the National Conservatory of Lyon under the direction of French choreographers Julien Monty, Michel Kelemenis and Yan Raballand. In 2009 he creates “A piece about a kitchen”, a dance-theatre piece for 4 dancers. In 2010, he performs a solo entitled “Chocolate and a rose” in the frame of the Museum of Fine Arts 7th edition “Music and Dance” event, in Lyon. With a special focus towards cultural diversity and his hybrid roots, Benjamin Coyle explores different ways of creating choreographic works in order to shape his own specific vocabulary. In his creative process, Coyle likes to combining different media and so, collaborates with artists coming from various aesthetic horizons and using other artistic forms, in particular musicians. In Mai 2010 he creates in collaboration with the viola player Julien Lo Pinto a choreographic partition based on “L'arc fauve”, a composition by François Rossé. In this work the two artists explore aesthetic relationships between dancer and musician building a common, subtle and original vocabulary. Recently he started his new project “Zuzweit” born trough the piece “zuzweit” with the Musician Antoine Mermet, which he presented for the “Petite Biennale des Possibles 2011” in Lyon. Parallel to his creative career, he continues to seek for his own choreographic vocabulary and improve his technique by refining his movement knowledge. His experience as a dancer/performer is nourished by encounters with international reknown choreographers and dancers such as Juan Kruz Diaz de Garaio Esaola (Sasha Waltz and Guests Company), Jan Lauwers (Needcompany),Daphnis Kokkinos (Tanztheater Wuppertal) and Carolyn Carlson.
