We have just come to the end of our 10-show run of The Passion of Andrea 2 at  the Festival On (y) danse aussi l'été ! at Les Hivernales CDCN d'Avignon. After a long break since our last performance in 2020 at The Place in London, we were finally back performing the show in front of an audience. The show received an enthusiastic response...

I am very honoured to be part of the new cohort of Work Place artists at The Place in London from 2021! Work Place is The Place's unique associate artist programme of tailored support for professional choreographers. It creates a home for a community of 11 artists, helping to sustain them and provide conditions for their work to grow and flourish over a...

Co-created with Nottingham-based dance artist Lewys Holt, BAL: Pride and Disappointment finally premièred on 25 and 27 June 2021 in Escher Theater. This project started out as a remake of my previous work BAL, which was awarded the Luxembourgish Dance Award in 2017, and ended up somewhere completely new. You can't raise the dead. We are really happy that this collaboration has finally seen...

Due to the implementation of measures to prevent the spread of coronavirus (COVID-19), the following projects and performances have been postponed or cancelled: Alaladalaba Row, a new creation in collaboration with London Contemporary Dance School BA3 students, was interrupted a week before its première in March 2020. Performances of The Passion of Andrea 2 at the Fête de la Danse...

I don't feel done with the subject of sequels and recreations as we move forward, so between January and June I'll be working on yet another one, BAL 2 (working title?), in collaboration with Lewys Holt. A few ideas have been brooding about it uncontrollably my side, such as an attraction to animal prints. More about all this coming soon!    ...

After a grandiose première in Marseille at KLAP Maison pour la danse, The Passion of Andrea 2 has also braved Luxembourgish audiences this autumn and passes into its future full of hopefulness and excitement. For one, we're super happy we'll be performing at The Place on the 26th of February next, with more dates in the oven! If you understand...

Prototype VI, choreographic research lab in Royaumont France, has entered its last session of three weeks. We all arrived in the beautiful abbaye a day ago to dive in straight away in projects we had more or less prepared. Some schedule changes meant I was buried in my soft-as-heaven bedding all afternoon to get ready for a first session with...

This July The Passion of Andrea 2 is in residency at The Place London, Dance City Newcastle, and Wiesenburg Berlin. After a hot week on the top floor at The Place and reconnecting with the material, we met our costume designer Lydia Sonderegger at Dance City in Newcastle and put some wigs on. This week in Berlin we're pretty excited...
