Brice Leroux graduated from the Conservatoire National Supérieur in Lyon in 1992. While there he created his First Solo for which he received a prize for best contemporary dancer at the Paris International Dance Competition and the Gold Medal of the city of Paris. In 1992 he was awarded a scholarship by the American Dance Festival in North Carolina and completed his training in New York at the renowned studios of
Trisha Brown and
Merce Cunningham.
The choreography created by Brice Leroux has the remarkable power to “ allow us to perceive phenomena which usually remain invisible”. This time, the choreographer considers the body as two completely independent parts: the upper sphere (above the waist) and the lower sphere producing a choreographic language which enables the body to compose a rich metaphysical poetry.
