JOËLLE LÉANDRE Joëlle Léandre is one of the dominant figures of the new European music. Trained in orchestral as well as contemporary music, she has played with l’Itinéraire, 2e2m and Pierre Boulez’s Ensemble Intercontemporain. Joëlle Léandre has also worked with Merce Cunningham and with John Cage, who has composed especially for her—as have Scelsi, Fénelon, Hersant, Lacy, Campana, Jolas, Clementi and some twenty other composers. As well as working in contemporary music, Léandre has played with some of the great names in jazz and improvisation such as Derek Bailey, Anthony Braxton, George Lewis, Evan Parker, Irene Schweier, Barre Phillips, Steve Lacy, Lauren Newton, Peter Kowald, Urs Leimgruber, Fred Frith, John Zorn, Mark Naussef, Marilyn Crispell, India Cooke and many others. She has written extensively for dance and theater, and has staged a number of multidisciplinary performances. She won the German Academic Exchange Service (DAAD) scholarship to study in Berlin and was welcomed as artist resident at Villa Kujiyama (Kyoto, Japan). In 2002, 2004 and 2006, she was Darius Milhaud Visiting Professor at Mills College in California for improvisation and composition. Her work as a composer and a performer, both in solo recitals and a part of ensembles, has taken her to the most prestigious stages of Europe, the Americas and Asia. Between 1981 and 2008, Joëlle Léandre released 120 recordings. Of John Cage, Leandré says, “He will always be my spiritual father. I had already read For the Birds before meeting him. It is an important book. John made me listen to the world around me: ‘Let sound be what it is’. He opened up a field of possibilities; he gave me confidence”. DOMINIQUE BOIVIN After studying classical dance, Dominique Boivin turned towards contemporary dance, studying with Carolyn Carlson in France and with Merce Cunningham in New York. In 1978, his first solo Quelle fut ta soif? won the Humor Prize in the Bagnolet competition. Back in France in 1981, he created the Company ‘Beau Geste ‘ with several other dancers. He has performed his solo, La dance, un histoire à ma façon (The dance, a story in my own way) all over the world beginning in 1994 and continuing for the next decade. His latest creations, Aqua ça Rime?, Transports exceptionnels and À quoi tu penses? approach very different universes. Transports Exceptionnels is a unique and whimsical outdoor duet between man and five-ton mechanical digger. Choreographed by Boivin and accompanied by the dramatic voice of Maria Callas, the dancer meets, greets, and embraces a moving excavator, transforming the stage into a construction site, street into playground, and dance into a tentative balance between nature, man, and machine.
