Beau Geste

BEAU GESTE was created in 1981 by seven dancers from the Centre National de Danse Contemporaine (National Centre of Contemporary Dance),  directed by the American choreographer Alwin NIKOLAÏS. Under the form of  an artistic collective where different esthetic points of view are  exchanged – each dancer alternatively taking the role of choreographer  or interpreter – BEAU GESTE developed across its creations, both  collective and individual, a common state of mind fed by the diversity  of the artistic potential of its members.  In 1991 the artistic  direction was entrusted to Dominique BOIVIN, Christine ERBÉ and Philippe  PRIASSO; each assuming responsibilities which, although distinct, were  always shared at the heart of the trio. Pursuing this approach – putting  the emphasis on each dancer’s unique personality and movement – BEAU  GESTE ventures into multiple performance styles: solos, cabarets,  variety shows, dance conferences… all opportunities to affirm a taste  for diversity, distance and humour.
