Over a career spanning six decades now, Lucinda Childs has built up a unique body of work, a genuine cornerstone of contemporary dance history. A foremost choreographer of the American postmodern scene, she was first associated with the minimalist movement that permeated the burgeoning New York scene in the 60s and 70s. From her silent pieces to her collaborations with Philip Glass and Robert Wilson, from her solos to the operas for which she wrote the dance scores, her work is defined by rigor and inventiveness. Simple gestures, an inclination for repetition and variations, procedures utilizing trajectories, her language still embodies an engaging modernity. After partnering with the Italian choreographer Michele Pogliani and her young company MP3 Dance Project in 2023 for a largely revamped iteration of the ballet Relative Calm, conceived with Robert Wilson, the American choreographer now presents four new pieces. An eagerly anticipated event that is not to be missed.
