The 2020 Life Time Achievement Award<\/span><\/b><\/p>\n

\u201cDance is an art and a passion that requires discipline, dedication and a lot of sweating!

\u201cThe Prix de Lausanne means a great deal of recognition for the youngest dancers. It\u00a0helps finding a way to international recognition, and furthermore,\u00a0acknowledges the dancer\u2019s hard work. I would add that it is also a meaningful recognition for all the people involved in the dancer\u2019s journey \u2013 parents, teachers, etc.\u201d<\/i><\/span><\/p>\n

California-born Carolyn Carlson defines herself first and foremost as a nomad. From San Francisco Bay to the University of Utah, from the Alwin Nikola\u00efs company in New York to Anne B\u00e9ranger\u2019s in France, from Paris Opera Ballet to Teatrodanza La Fenice in Venice, from the Th\u00e9\u00e2tre de la Ville de Paris to Helsinki, from Ballet Cullberg to La Cartoucherie in Paris, from the Venice Biennale to Roubaix, Carlson is a tireless traveller, always seeking to develop and share her poetic universe.<\/p>\n

She arrived in France in 1971 the beneficiary of Alwin Nikola\u00efs\u2019 ideas about movement, composition and teaching. The following year, with Rituel pour un r\u00eave mort<\/em>, she wrote a poetic manifesto that defined an approach to her work that she has adhered to ever since: dance that is strongly oriented towards philosophy and spirituality. Carlson prefers the term \u2018visual poetry\u2019 to \u2018choreography\u2019 to describe her work.<\/p>\n

For four decades, Carlson has had significant influence and success in many European countries. She played a key role in the birth of French and Italian contemporary dance through the GRTOP (theatre research group) at Paris Opera Ballet and Teatrodanza at La Fenice.<\/p>\n

She has created over 100 pieces, a large number of which are landmarks in the history of dance, including Density 21.5<\/em>, T<\/em>he Year of the Horse<\/em>, Blue Lady<\/em>, St<\/em>eppe<\/em>, Maa<\/em>, Signes<\/em>, Writings on Water<\/em> and Inanna<\/em>. In 2006, her work was rewarded with the first ever Golden Lion given to a choreographer by the Venice Biennale.<\/p>\n

Founder of the Atelier de Paris-Carolyn Carlson at the Cartoucherie in 1999, she was associated artist to Th\u00e9\u00e2tre National de Chaillot with the Carolyn Carlson Company from 2014 to 2016. In 2017, besides touring her repertoire, the choreographer explores new forms of creations: an exhibition for museums, a full-length dance movie for cinema\u2026<\/p>\n
