EVE GANNEAU
I have been working around Europe as a dancer, teacher and most recently dance maker since 2006. I trained at the CNSM Paris and worked in various repertory companies including Aalto Ballet Theater, Tanzensemble des Theater Dortmund, Hessian State Theatre and Scottish Dance Theatre.
Since 2015, I turned towards freelance projects and trained to become a certified Feldenkrais practitioner.
As a dancer and Feldenkrais practitioner, I attend the body as a medium through which we experience the world. My practice is embedded in a somatic approach to dance and dance making. To me, it is about genuine investigations and constant re-discovery of the intrinsic intelligence of the body. It is the practice of giving form to fleeting impulses.
My latest collaborations as a dancer include Goldberg Variations – ternary patterns for insomnia with Scottish Ensemble and Andersson Dance, Meeting the Odyssey, itinerant theatre production, The North with Joan Cleville Dance and Die Wand with Cafe Fuerte theatre company specialised in landscape theatre. I am also a member of the collective Medea Electronique, based in Athens working with multidisciplinary projects, multimedia and interactive technologies.
My recent collaboration with musician Su Shaw on the piece Geographical Skin was premiered at Hidden Door Festival, Edinburgh.
I am regularly invited to teach fellow professional dancers as well as dancers in vocational training in the UK and abroad (Scottish Dance Theatre, ZAIK Cologne, NSCD Leeds, SSCD Dundee, NYDCS, amongst others)
