THE
PRINCESS PROJECT turned into a "solo reconstruction of a duo
that never existed except in my own fantasy...it makes sense
to work with the absence of a person when working on the topic
of love." Vincent Dunoyer
Vincent
Dunoyer (F/D)
born in 1962 in Paris, started his dance studies - both classical
and contemporary - after high school. In 1989 he worked with
Philippe Découflé for the street pageant performed
during the 200th anniversary celebrations of the French Revolution.
The same year he was engaged by Wim Vandekeybus' company where
he joined the cast of Les Porteuses de Mauvaises Nouvelles
and participated in the creation of Le Poids de la Main. In
1990 Vincent Dunoyer joined Anne Teresa de Keersmaeker's Rosas.
Between 1990 and 1996 he participated in the creation of Achterland,
ERTS, Mozart/Concert Arias, Toccata and the movie Achterland.
His first encounter with members of the Wooster Group took
place in 1994, when he replaced a member of the cast of their
production Fish Story. After meeting Steve Paxton, Vincent
Dunoyer started working on a solo with him. These encounters
resulted in the production Wooster Group/ De Keersmaeker/
Paxton, 3 solos for Vincent Dunoyer, premièred at the
Springdance Festival in Utrecht in 1997 (international tour
until February 2000). In the beginning of 1999, he conceived
Etude#31, an installation for 9 slide-projectors and a computer,
with the photographer Mirjam Devriendt, on a study for mechanical
piano composed by Conlon Nancarrow. This mechanical solo was
premièred at th 99 edition of the Springdance Festival,
then shown throughout Europe.
In September/October 99, he was artist-in-residence in the
Frankfurt Mousontum Theatre and created Vanity, for a dancer,
a percussionist, a video camera and a tape-delay system, on
a music by James Tenny.
Vincent Dunoyer also teaches Rosas repertory at P.A.R.T.S.,
the School of Anne Teresa De Keersmaeker.
