Anne Lise Le Gac
The archives of Triangle-Astérides do not allow for the determination of the exact dates or the duration of this residency in 2009.
Anne Lise Le Gac lives and works in Paris (FR).
Her performances do not necessarily include the audience. They allow her to maintain control over the action—and also over the public. This control is exerted both through a deliberate distancing and through the notion of the “quest” that the action may represent. “The performative mode offers a kind of distance between identity and its representation.”
Her work often involves constructing the site of the action itself, intentionally blurring the boundaries between life and work, inside and outside, hidden and revealed. Emphasis is placed on gesture, on self-transcendence through “sport,” dance, and construction. The physical dimension is prominent. “It is through approaching dance in its various forms that I can, in performance, more precisely consider the gesture.”
