Victor Hugo, excerpt from Inner Voices To the left of the space is a dance that vacillates, unsure of where it stands; the ground caves in beneath it, like the thought or feel of things. Can a dance bear crushing weights? Is it capable, like certain weeds that crack their way through rock, of distilling the heavy alcohol of time and giving body to a lightness freed from the mythical pairing of Dionysos to Apollo, to let its own "inner voice" appear? Should it not make a slow volt before giving rise to a "slow revolt"? A slow volt, freeing itself from an immense weight and drifting inexorably to the left, as if this dance needed to break from everything right, every imposed figure, each deep symmetry. Between them (between the two dancers), a close bond takes shape: they shall drift… deviate… lightness… stretch that, towards for what example, they which sense is Modigliani revealed in the figure of a sleeping caryatid… Daniel Dobbels Cie De l’Entre-Deux c/o Le 26 Dominique Mahé / Carole Albanese / Johanna Mahé-Guillier T +33(0)2 99 65 67 10 - P +33 (0)6 80 28 62 04 www.delentredeux.fr – [email protected] the strangest miraculously A la gauche de l’espace/ To the left of the space Maxime Fleuriot, Danser Magazine, Oct. 2011 « Sur les accords de l'Etude numéro 1 de Pascal Dusapin, on assiste à une danse délicate marquée par une attention aiguisée à la présence de l'autre. Les yeux fermés, les danseuses se concentrent sur l'espace intime de leur relation. Elles semblent dériver avec lenteur dans un songe de sensualité. Bien loin de toute figure imposée et à rebours de toute recherche spectaculaire. » « On the agreements of the Study number 1 of Pascal Dusapin, we attend a delicate dance, where each dancer has a sharpened attention to the other. Blindly, the dancers concentrate on the intimate space of their relation. They seem to derive slowly in a dream of sensualism. Indeed far from any imposed figure and any spectacular search. » Choreography: Daniel Dobbels Dancers : Marine Chesnais, Carole Quettier Music : Etude n° 1, Pascal Dusapin ( Salabert editions S.A.)

Whatever his medium– words or gestures – he has forever questioned dance to move closer to an intimate sensitivity, in a poetic approach, to the human experience. His pieces emerge as timeless crossings through a space renewed by dance. With his company of dancers, he leads a meticulous exploration of gesture, rummaging through all the body’s states to draw forth what he considers the most intimate. From the solo to the septet, he invents an art of relationship – of this “entre-deux” between the interior and the exterior, between the self and the world – in search of a dance that is “the justice of the body.” His career began as a dancer for Susan Buirge, and continued with in the company Arcor, founded by Christine Gérard, for ten years. With her, he choreographed his first pieces, developing a personal body of work that is today rich with over twenty pieces. In 2000, he founded the company De l’Entre-Deux, notably remounting L’Enfer (original creation 1987/ revival 2000, quintet), Est-ce-que ce qui est loin s'éloigne de l'être humain ?, a trio inspired by the work of Oskar Schlemmer (original creation 1999/ revival 2003 at the Théâtre de la Ville de Paris), and She never stumbles, a solo danced by Brigitte Asselineau to songs by Bob Dylan, performed nearly sixty times since its creation in 1997. He next created D’un jour à l’autre (2000-2003, “an irregular suite of five pieces”), Ni/Et (2005, trio) and L’insensible déchirure (2006). In 2007, he undertook the creation of Solitaires, a series of four solos : L’Echarpe grise, with Carole Quettier (commission of the SACD for Vif du sujet 2007), followed, in 2008, by Parfois, la colère tombe with Anne-Sophie Lancelin, Un temps rare with Christine Gérard, and Les yeux blonds with Aurélie Berland. In the fall of 2009, he created Danser hors de soi (commission of the scène nationale de la Roche-surYon) for Dominique Petit. Due to the initiative of Michel Caserta, he met the composer Gérard Pesson with whom he created two pieces bringing together on stage the dancers from his company and the musical ensemble 2e2m: L’épanchement d’Echo (2007, seven dancers, fourteen musicians) and Danser de peur (2009, four dancers and four musicians), both commissions of the Biennale nationale de danse du Val de Marne. In spring 2010, he created Une rencontre informelle (commission of the Concordan(s)e festival), a poetic and choreographic piece with the writer Nicole Caligaris. In 2011, he created To the left of the space, Festival. during the Avignon All these works are the fruit of a long term relationship between loyal collaborators and partners. These works punctuate an ensemble of lengthy careers, between creation and transmission, within theaters that housed the company in long term residencies: L’apostrophe-scène nationale de Cergy-Pontoise (2004), l’Espal-scène conventionnée du Mans Cie De l’Entre-Deux c/o Le 26 Dominique Mahé / Carole Albanese / Johanna Mahé-Guillier T +33(0)2 99 65 67 10 - P +33 (0)6 80 28 62 04 www.delentredeux.fr – [email protected] (from 2002 to 2010), Le Centre de développement chorégraphique de Dijon-Bourgogne (from 2008 to 2011), Le Forum -scène conventionnée de Blanc-Mesnil (2009-2011). In parallel with his choreographic works, Daniel Dobbels has written about art. He created the review Empreintes, a review for dance in 1977, joined the editorial committee of the review Lignes (1987-1999), was an art critic for Libération (1982-1992), commentator for the radio shows Panorama (1987-1997) and Tout arrive (2003-2007) on France Culture. He has also published numerous books on art and dance such as the recent Le silence des mimes blancs (2006), Des gestes non mortels (2006) and Un art indécomposable (2007). He has been currently writing a book on the relationships he perceives between art and dance over the last one-hundred years.
