ABOUT

Louise Lecavalier has been called the most brilliant dancers of our time; a "rock star of dance," and "flame on legs".

With her unique strength, speed and suppleness, Lecavalier has succeeded in building a reputation as one of the most significant players on the international dance stage. Her explosive stage personality provides a titillating contrast to the graceful postures of classical ballet and gives a strong impression of physical presence. A fusion of movements that has allowed her to contribute to pushing back the boundaries of contemporary dance all over the world - and for more than 25 years.

Louise tours a collection of three dances (two solos and one duet) created by Tedd Robinson, Crystal Pite, and Benoît Lachambre, three Canadian choreographers. The duet Is You Me, a repeat collaboration between Louise Lecavalier and Benoît Lachambre, was created in spring 2008 at Festival Transamériques in Montréal and is now touring in Europe. She is currently preparing a double program of duets, created by British choreographer Nigel Charnock and Canadian choreographer Édouard Lock, that will tour during the 2009-2010 season.
