Australian choreographer Lucy Guerin on giving up control • FRANCE 24 English

Since founding her company in Melbourne in 2002, award-winning choreographer Lucy Guerin has become one of the artists defining contemporary Australian dance. Her minimalist work explores the body’s relationship to space, rhythm and people, as well as themes like time, gravity and control. In her over 20 years as a choreographer she says she’s learned to let go of her own sense of control, increasingly letting her dancers help guide her work. Lucy Guerin joined FRANCE 24’s Alison Sargent to discuss her works “Pendulum” and “How To Be Us”, presented at Paris’s Chaillot national dance theatre as part of the “Go Australia” event.
