Propulsée sous les feux de la rampe, encouragée par une salle sous le charme de sa création Bombyx Mori, la chorégraphe lyonnaise Delphine Gaud fut l'une des révélations de la 9ème Biennale de la Danse Les Routes de la Soie. Delphine poursuit son chemin patiemment, avec talent et détermination. Après la soie, elle s'intéresse au livre sous toutes ses formes, son contenant et son contenu, le livre en tant que réalité passée et contemporaine, lien entre les hommes. Comme dans précédente pièce tout est prétexte ici à danser. Si partir des mots ou du livre en général, paraît à priori un défi pour le corps dansant, Delphine Gaud s'inscrit en faux contre cette idée. En effet, rien n'est plus jubilatoire à ses yeux que de laisser interagir ces deux essences qui nous constituent.

Author, filmmaker and video artist Charles Picq (1952-2012) entered working life in the 70s through theatre and photography. A- fter resuming his studies (Maîtrise de Linguistique - Lyon ii, Maîtrise des sciences et Techniques de la Communication - grenoble iii), he then focused on video, first in the field of fine arts at the espace Lyonnais d'art Contemporain (ELAC) and with the group « Frigo », and then in dance.
   On creation of the Maison de la Danse in Lyon in 1980, he was asked to undertake a video documentation project that he has continued ever since. During the ‘80s, a decade marked in France by the explosion of contemporary dance and the development of video, he met numerous artists such as andy Degroat, Dominique Bagouet, Carolyn Carlson, régine Chopinot, susanne Linke, Joëlle Bouvier and regis Obadia, Michel Kelemenis. He worked in the creative field with installations and on-stage video, as well as in television with recorded shows, entertainment and documentaries.

His work with Dominique Bagouet (80-90) was a unique encounter. He documents his creativity, assisting with Le Crawl de Lucien and co-directing with his films Tant Mieux, Tant Mieux and 10 anges. in the 90s he became director of video development for the Maison de la Danse and worked, with the support of guy Darmet and his team, in the growing space of theatre video through several initiatives:
       - He founded a video library of dance films with free public access. This was a first for France. Continuing the video documentation of theatre performances, he organised their management and storage.
       - He promoted the creation of a video-bar and projection room, both dedicated to welcoming school pupils.
       - He started «présentations de saisons» in pictures.
       - He oversaw the DVD publication of Le tour du monde en 80 danses, a pocket video library produced by the Maison de la Danse for the educational sector.

       - He launched the series “scènes d'écran” for television and online. He undertook the video library's digital conversion and created Numeridanse.

His main documentaries are: enchaînement, Planète Bagouet, Montpellier le saut de l'ange, Carolyn Carlson, a woman of many faces, grand ecart, Mama africa, C'est pas facile, Lyon, le pas de deux d'une ville, Le Défilé, Un rêve de cirque.

Founded in 1997 by Delphine Gaud and Franck Besson, La Trisande resided in Lyon until 2004, and created ten pieces. Bombyx Mori (2000), created at the Lyon Biennale of dance, encouraged its development. Liber Mundi (2003) and Tiamat (2004) asserted the identity of the company. These creations have been praised by the press and a loyal public.
 

In 2004, La Trisande moved to a former spinning mill in Saint-Julien-Molin-Molette (42). His studio, called Les Ailes de Bernard, in homage to the dancer choreographer Bernard Glandier, is open to dancers from all backgrounds, and intended for research, creation, training and interdisciplinary exchanges. We offer an internship program between February and October.
 

In 2006, Delphine Gaud opened a new research component, linked to space and landscape. She creates From Near or Far, a room for the outdoors, and explores another relationship with the spectator and the performance space.
 

Since 2006 she has been working on an original project, Tropismes, the fruit of her collaboration with visual artist Christophe Gonnet, whose central question is: are we able to slow down? This research has already given birth to 3 pieces: Tropismes trio (outdoor form of 50 minutes for 3 dancers), Tropismes duo (scenic form of 32 minutes for 2 dancers) and a performance form of the duo, more suited to public places such as museums , contemporary art centers.
