Deloche, Pierre
It was first in the United States, with Merce Cunningham and John Cage that Pierre Deloche learned to dance. In 1983, He received the Medici Prize for his solo Dancing Sounds. Back in France in 1984, he created his company and signed many choreographies.
In 1997, he studied Human Sciences, the Alexander technique and Body-Mind Centering ©, which led him to reorient his choreographic research. On the one hand, he developped a work dedicated to motor and sensory disabilities, on the other hand the invention and the implementation of Civil Creations: artistic and civic acts with the inhabitants, for the public space, in the sharing of a quality of presence.
