Bertrand Davy
« A ma place ? » ("In my place?") (solo + impromptus)

In “Swing Time”, Fred Astaire danced an extraordinary duo with his own shadow. For this production, Bertand Davy, a very talented tap-dancer and magnificent contemporary performer, follows in Astaire’s footsteps. By appearing, disappearing, reappearing, the shadows tell their story, which is also that of the dancers. And what could be more helpful when you want to free yourself from fear, than to dance with your own shadow, everywhere, off the cuff, in the sun, in the backyard, in the corners? Bertrand Davy, alone on the bigger scene, completes the story of these ghosts. His happy and virtuoso tap-dancing evokes the sheer pleasure of dancing and shoos away any remaining shadow and dread.

Before "Zapptime#Remix" on Thursdays, Fridays, and Saturdays
and before "Trois ou quatre petites pièces…" on Sundays

Duration: solo 15 minutes

Mentions

Bertrand Davy is a dancer, a choreographer and a teacher. He started learning tap-dancing and jazz dance when he was 9 years old, with teachers such as Sylvie Kay. In 1989, he met Mathilde Monnier, who now calls him a very talented dancer with great knowledge of the arts and the stage, as well as a vast experience of the creative processes.
While continuing to train in tap-dancing and contemporary dance, Bertrand Davy worked with the choreographer from Montpellier and performed "A la renverse" (1989), "Lieux de la" (1998), "Pour Antigone" (2000), "Déroutes" (2002), "Signes" (2000), "Rose” (2001), and "Sursauts" (2004). More recently, they have worked together on the topic of the Diaspora, for a performance at the Musée Branly in Paris (2007). Let us not forget his partnerships with Violaine Véricel (creation of the company called “Temps battant” in 1993) or with Jean Lacornerie. As a teacher, he has run several courses with children or young dancers in France and abroad.
