Philippe Decouflé (Astonishing digital multi media ballet dance)
Most choreographers are just that - choreographers! But Philippe Decouflé is more than this: a "camera danseur", a multi-media dreamer and an all-round producer of the sort of culture in which everything is determined by appearance and looking. What particularly fascinates Decouflé are simply images, be it on stage or in film. One camera pan and we see him as a director of video clips, a cinema choreographer or a manager of public parades. His TV spot, for cameras, of all things, was awarded the Silver Lion in Venice, while one of his videos won the Ministry of Culture's Prix de la qualité. He has been honoured in short film festivals, as well as by a festival for humorous short films and the association of French film critics. He has made commercials for France Télécom and shorts for advertising breaks on Antenne 2. His laboratory is a huge dice-shaped former electrical works building called "La Chaufferie". It was not solely due to its proximity to the World Cup stadium that Decouflé was chosen to choreograph Yves Saint Laurent models in the republic's sports ceremony. Philippe Decouflé is in fact the fifth republic's inofficial master of ceremonies. (Thomas Hahn, Journalist, Published in Ballet International Actual Dance -magazine)
