Cirrus Dance Company

Cirrus Dance Company is a French contemporary dance company, under the artistic direction of Guillaume Payen-Ascone. The company is characterised by a variety of activities such as performances for all audiences, training for amateurs and interventions with specialised audiences. 
Guillaume's work is rich in movement and precise in space. The movement is often off-axis, resulting in a constant imbalance and requiring control and mastery of the centre.  The untied movement is guided by a motor element provoking successions in the body in echo with the initial gesture. The movement takes over the space involving the body in imbalances, falls, turns often created by a spiral of the column. The dance is punctuated by isolations, articulations, focusing on body details. The body does not know much silence, nor pause, but it finds its resources in the "in-between" of tonicity and relaxation.
