Dancer, choreographer, author and theatre director Anne Nguyen founded the par Terre Dance Company in 2005. She has created about twenty shows, several interactive installations and short films. She also wrote a collection of poems and several articles on dance.
Coming from the world of breakdance battles and influenced by scientific studies, she combines urban social dances with a geometrical, pure, destructured choreographic expression that exalts the power of abstraction. She derives her inspiration from mathematics, martial arts, utopia and myths. She draws from the observation of 4 gestures, danced as well as ordinary, individual as well as collective, to turn urban dances and popular cultures into a support for a reflection on tradition, on social markers, on diversity, on cultural appropriation and on the tensions between multiculturalism and cosmopolitanism.
Regularly called upon for her expertise on urban dances and cultural issues, Anne Nguyen has participated in numerous debates and symposiums and gives conferences that put into perspective dance, culture, and society.
