Alban Richard

To define my pro­fes­sion, I open the Larousse dic­tion­ary. I am there­fore “an artist who com­poses dances and bal­lets.” That’s a bit dry.
I go to a free online encyc­lo­pe­dia and read: “the cho­reo­graph­er organ­izes space and struc­tures move­ment through a per­son­al vocab­u­lary drawn from the infin­ite vari­ety of the kin­et­ic capa­cit­ies of the human body, with the aim of com­mu­nic­at­ing an idea, a feel­ing, an emo­tion, a situ­ation.” That’s a bit lyrical.
Serge Lifar coined the term chor­eau­thor to assert his place as the cre­at­or of dance. That’s clever.
In short, I design and com­pose per­form­ances in which people dance.
