MUSE 010: Interview with Marion Ballister, Dresden

http://www.dance-tech.net Since her education at CNDC in Angers, from 1987 to 1989, Marion Ballester has had a triple career as choreographer, performer and teacher. After having started her career as a dancer in 1989 with Dominique Petit, she was engaged by Phillipe Découflé and later joined Rosas, in both cases as a performer, until leaving to study in New York at the Trisha Brown Studios in 1992. From then on she started elaborating her own choreographic research, founding her own company and creating her own work; Blue Mathematics, then Unconscious Landscape (2000), project dance/sculpture/video for 4 dancers inspired by the work of Louise Bourgeois; Intimez-moi (2001); Bord à Bord (2002); and finally Neptune (2004) created within the framework of the Festival des Antipodes in Brest. She went on to become assistant to Anne Teresa de Keersmaeker for the creation of Once, in 2002. Marion Ballester is at present still dancing the trio Desh with this Flemish choreographer. In 2005 she collaborated with the Company Frederic Flamand/Charleroi dance for the performance Huit. Since 2010 she has been working with Raimund Hogue on a new project and is the assistant of Michèle Noiret. In parallel Marion Ballester never ceases to deepen the pursuit of a practice of pedagogy, in the midst of different educational structures and professional dance companies; at la Ménagerie de Verre, at CND, at P.A.R.T.S or the companies of Angelin Preljojac, of Philippe Découflé and of Jean-Claude Gallota. produced by marlon barrios solano
