MEDIATHEK

Born in Colmar in 1972, Olivier Dubois first undertook university training in foreign languages, before encountering the world of dance at a later stage and embarking on a rich and atypical career… from Karine Saporta to the Cirque du Soleil, and passing by the likes of Angelin Preljocaj, Andy Degroat, Nasser Martin-Gousset, as well as participating in Le lion et le rat by Dominique Boivin, as part of the Fables à la fontaine. At present, he collaborates essentially with Jan Fabre, both in creations and performances. He also designed a solo act (Pour tout l’or du monde) for the Festival d’Avignon 2006, as well as a duo (Féroces) with Christine Corday for the Esplanade in Saint-Etienne. Olivier Dubois also teaches and directs a number of workshops within dance companies and schools outside France. A comedian as well as a dancer, he has taken part in numerous plays and short films. In 2007 he was awarded the jury’s special prize by France’s union of art critics (theatre, music and dance) for his creation and interpretation of Pour tout l’or du monde. (Quelle: Bdanse)
