Ballade
BALLADE / creation 1996
Choreography Sylvie Giron
“Ballade” is the first solo that Sylvie Giron has choreographed and whose outline carries us instantaneously into the hazards of space, its flexibility, its secret traverses. “Because in a highly-particular way, Sylvie Giron is one of those performers whose spirit emanates right down to the fingertips whenever they slash the air with a fleeting gesture, a punctuation mark, a nuance, and who, when highlighting the attack of a gesture, its liberation, its rhythm and frequently its very music with a bold stroke, allow us to see what is beyond the visible...”
Laurent Barre, July 1996
“Sylvie Giron has unleashed enthusiasm by making the nerve, the impertinence and the blossoming youth of her incredibly accomplished, adult dance tremble; an ever-so exact and assured dance that leads her unequivocal pattern to be constantly in touch with the lightness of caresses. Her “Ballade” applies to poise in life; a determined approach, of a gaze fixed on the other. It is short, and extravagantly elegant. Acquiesced surrender, a burst of intentions: gesticulating cultivated freedom”.

The committed artist
In all the arts and here especially in dance, the artist sometimes creates to defend a cause, to denounce a fact, to disturb, to shock. Here is a panorama of some "committed" choreographic creations.

Meeting with literature
Collaboration between a choreographer and a writer can lead to the emergence of a large number of combinations. If sometimes the choreographer creates his dance around the work of an author, the writer can also choose dance as the subject of his text.
