Grand Jeté
by Silvia Gribaudi / Zebra
with MM Contemporary Dance Company
Grand Jeté is a choreographic project by Silvia Gribaudi, realised with MM Contemporary Dance Company, an Italian company directed by Michele Merola.
Starting from one of the most virtuoso steps of ballet, this new creation by Silvia Gribaudi explores the end as a source for new beginnings. A “grand jeté” that metaphorically represents a transition step, a “jump” towards something unknown, and an opportunity to rebel and challenge the irreversibility of any kind of ending. How much effort does this take-off into the unknown require and what prospects can a landing open up? In light of this explosive leap of energy, how can we deal with failure as a resource for taking off again?
Bio
Silvia Gribaudi is an Italian choreographer active in the performing arts. Since 2004 she has focused her artistic research of the social impact of the body, putting comedy and the relationship between performer and spectator at the centre of her choreographic language. She won the award Giovane Danza d’Autore with A CORPO LIBERO(2009), Premio UBU finalist for best dance show and Rete Critica Award finalist with R.OSA (2017), CollaborAction#4 Award 2018-2019, finalist Rete Critica Award 2019, DANZA&DANZA award as best Italian production with GRACES and Hystrio Corpo a Corpo 2021 Award. She has participated in artistic and research projects like:
CHOREOROAM (2011), TRIPTYCH (2013), ACT YOUR AGE (2014) European project of active ageing through the art of dance, from which she created the performance WHAT AGE ARE YOU ACTING?, and the territorial project OVER 60; PERFORMING GENDER (2015); CORPO LINKS CLUSTER (2019/2020). In this framework, the relationship between dance, mountain and mountain community generated the site-specific project TREKKING COREOGRAFICO and the show MONJOUR (2021) produced by Torinodanza Festival in collaboration with Teatro Stabile del Veneto and Les Halles de Schaerbeek – Bruxelles. In 2021 she was guest choreographer for “Danser Encore, 30 solos pour 30 danseurs” an l’Opéra de Lyon project. In June 2023 she premiered the new production GRAND JETÉ, coproduced by MM Contemporary Dance Company (IT), La Biennale de Lyon (FR), Théâtre de la Ville (FR), Rum för Dans (SE), Torinodanza Festival (IT), International Dance Festival TANEC PRAHA (CZ), Zodiak – Side Step Festival (FIN) and the international network Big Pulse Dance Alliance.
Her shows are programmed in various national and international festivals and are realised through creative processes that generate from the dialogue and poetic encounters with other artists, companies and communities.
MM Contemporary Dance Company led by choreographer Michele Merola, is one of the top organizations in Italian dance. Founded in 1999 in Reggio Emilia, its repertoire is rich and varied, thanks to the works of its director as well as of European and Italian choreographers. In 2010 MMCDC won the Danza&Danza Award as best emerging company, in 2017 the Europaindanza Award – Award of merit for choreography, for Bolero by Michele Merola and in 2022 the Danza&Danza Award for best Italian production with Ballade, choreography by Mauro Bigonzetti and Enrico Morelli.
