Emmanuelle Huynh

Emmanuelle Huynh develops choreographic narratives that are constantly renewed, yet specific to each project. Since 1992, she has conducted a series of interviews with Trisha Brown, published in December 2012 by Les Presses du réel: History (s) and readings: Trisha Brown / Emmanuelle Huynh. On 1st January 2013, Emmanuelle Huynh relaunched her dance company, Mùa, through which she continues her creative work, educational activities, and various international, multi-disciplinary projects. From February 2004 to December 2012, Emmanuelle Huynh directed the Centre national de danse contemporaine Angers (CNDC), a national choreographic centre, as well as a school devoted exclusively to contemporary dance. Between 2014 and 2016, following an invitation by the cultural department of the French Embassy in New York, Emmanuelle Huynh produced the project A taxi driver, an architect and the High Line, with Jocelyn Cottencin: a portrait of New York City through its architecture, spaces, and inhabitants, composed of film portraits and a performance. The installation of the work was created at the Passerelle Centre d'art contemporain, Brest in February 2016, and the corresponding performance presented during the Danzfabrik Festival / Le Quartz in March 2016. During the preparations for A taxi driver, an architect and the High Line, a long-term collaboration has developed with Japanese dance artist Eiko Otake, based in the United States, whom she met in 2013. This collaboration has been punctuated by a number of public presentations (Brussels in May 2015, New York in June 2015 and February 2016, and Berkeley in April 2016, etc.).
