Claire Dessimoz

Guest 23/24

The works of Lausanne choreographer and dancer Claire Dessimoz centre around community and social challenges. How can we live together while leaving room for diversity, mistakes and disagreement? Claire Dessimoz creates precise dances of the "small and subtle" with which she wants to evoke a fruitful kind of doubt in the audience. Her pieces joyfully shake up supposed certainties and invite us to allow moments of letting go, emptiness and hesitation in the face of life's complexity.
Claire Dessimoz was a member of the junior national rhythmic gymnastics squad and later studied architecture (EPFL) and dance (LABAN).
