Blue Lady
On October 11th 1983, Carolyn Carlson premièred “Blue Lady” at La Fenice in Venice. The piece made a huge impact, and would be performed all over the world during the ten years that followed. “Blue Lady” marked the blossoming of a major choreographer and performer who had reached an artistic maturity and remarkable plenitude of movement. The choreographer's Californian childhood inspired this piece: it infuses the dance with tenderness, gaiety and nostalgia for moments from her past. Carolyn Carlson sets up a dialogue between her interior world and the stage where her slender silhouette turns tirelessly, lightly, while her feet lightly brush the floor or linger as if they would sink into it. The perception of human horizons weaves the framework of “Blue Lady”, a fascinating gallery of female portraits which embraces the span of one life.

Picq, Charles
Author, filmmaker and video artist Charles Picq (1952-2012) entered working life in the 70s through theatre and photography. A- fter resuming his studies (Maîtrise de Linguistique - Lyon ii, Maîtrise des sciences et Techniques de la Communication - grenoble iii), he then focused on video, first in the field of fine arts at the espace Lyonnais d'art Contemporain (ELAC) and with the group « Frigo », and then in dance.
On creation of the Maison de la Danse in Lyon in 1980, he was asked to undertake a video documentation project that he has continued ever since. During the ‘80s, a decade marked in France by the explosion of contemporary dance and the development of video, he met numerous artists such as andy Degroat, Dominique Bagouet, Carolyn Carlson, régine Chopinot, susanne Linke, Joëlle Bouvier and regis Obadia, Michel Kelemenis. He worked in the creative field with installations and on-stage video, as well as in television with recorded shows, entertainment and documentaries.

He documents his creativity, assisting with Le Crawl de Lucien and co-directing with his films Tant Mieux, Tant Mieux and 10 anges. in the 90s he became director of video development for the Maison de la Danse and worked, with the support of guy Darmet and his team, in the growing space of theatre video through several initiatives:

- He promoted the creation of a video-bar and projection room, both dedicated to welcoming school pupils.
- He started «présentations de saisons» in pictures.
- He oversaw the DVD publication of Le tour du monde en 80 danses, a pocket video library produced by the Maison de la Danse for the educational sector.
- He launched the series “scènes d'écran” for television and online. He undertook the video library's digital conversion and created Numeridanse.
