7 Dialogues [Frédéric Tavernini et Noé Soulier]

The 7 Dialogues conceived by DANCE ON ENSEMBLE resemble a  musical and choreographic laboratory. For this project, each member of  the company teamed up with a choreographer or director with the aim of  creating a solo in the form of a self-portrait. To link everything  together, the project’s artistic director, composer Matteo Fargion,  offered them a single musical structure: that of Schubert’s Erlkönig, inspired by Goethe’s Erlking,  which features a fantastic creature that haunts forests. Five extracts  will be presented in the CN D’s spaces. For the project, the American  dancer Ty Boomershine encountered the minimalist world of Beth Gill, an  emerging New York-based choreographer, who studied at the Tisch School  of the Arts. On the other side of the Atlantic, the German Brit Rodemund  embarked on a collaboration with Lucy Suggate, an independent dancer  known in the UK for her powerful and engaging solos. Others have chosen  to work with artists trained in the theatre. The director and visual  artist Tim Etchells, whose company, Forced Entertainment, is  internationally renowned, took part with Jone San Martin, a former  Forsythe dancer, who has also become a choreographer. As for Christopher  Roman, artistic director of DANCE ON ENSEMBLE, he called on an  unclassifiable artist who works at the frontier of performance, theatre  and dance: Ivo Dimchev, currently based in Brussels. Then there is  Frédéric Tavernini, a dancer and choreographer who trained at the dance  school of the Opéra de Paris, whose career has taken him to the Béjart  Ballet Lausanne, the Ballet de l’Opéra de Lyon and the Ballet de  Marseille. All these original artists, whose style has been forged  through decades of experience and collaborations, are linked together by  Matteo Fargion’s musical tapestry in which dancers, choreographers and  directors are all equal before the art of choreography.
