Constellation at Highways Performance Space and Gallery

Constellation is the new creation of Ghislain Grellier. If the title leaves no doubt on the subject matter, this dance is actually following the creation of a constellation, from the component to the texture and the shape. Deeply engaged in showing a strong and evolving relationship between dancers, or stars in a constellation, the dance is following the path of stars, made from dust, melting and shining in the sky. There mechanical bodies progressively change into glowing ones. Through this transformation, the relationship between the dancers becomes more and more liberated and if all of them find different paths, they remain related to one another. Ghislain Grellier‘s work is the result of a fusion of his knowledge in contemporary dance and ballet. Soon, he decided to work on a dance that is visually esthetic. For the past five years, he has produced five large production shows and has worked with over 40 different types of artists. Interested in images, Ghislain creates works that underline the relation between dance and video. Each of his work is conceived to be performed and filmed. Through his work, Ghislain hopes to open the contemporary dance field to a larger audience.
