Daniel Lommel, a dancer’s career, artistic encounters
by Nathalie Rousset and Daniel Lommel
A biographical project, this work of analysing experiences bears witness to the richness of the dance research conducted by Daniel Lommel, a dancer, pedagogue and choreographer, performer for Maurice Béjart, co-director of the Ballet du XXe siècle, and Rudolf Nureyev’s partner (Song of a Wayfarer).
Svadebka Les Noces
by Dominique Brun, Ivan Chaumeille and Sophie Jacotot
