Serge Ricci

Serge Ricci studied classical ballet at the Rosella Hightower Centre in Cannes. As a performer he cooperated with a wide range of companies and received education in a variety of dance techniques (e.g. Alexander, Body Mind Centring) but it was the Feldenkrais technique that has become most important to him. The first production he presented as a choreographer was the duet “Les Jardins Obscurs” that was on the line-up of Hivernales d'Avignon in 1994. Later that year he founded the company Mi-Octobre for which he has created the following choreographies: Educere (1994), Retour à ses tours (1996); Phalène, phalène (1996); (1997); Champs clos Ilinx (1998); the trilogy Partiellement Effacé (2000) – Humor (2001) – Endless (2003). In Ricci' s work focus moulds the form and priority is given to corporal discourse, which moulds the space. Ricci is a great performer endowed with exceptional fantasy which he underscores with technical preciseness. Last but not least, he is also a unique teacher and as such he is regularly invited to Prague by SE.S.TA. In 2009 he came to Prague to present his productions “Cisfinitum“ and “Par Dessus Bord“.
