Annabel Guérédrat

Annabel Guérédrat, performer / choreographer (Martinica)

40 years old, certificate in literature and history at university, also in contemporeany dance, she attended the teaching in butoh dance, Yoga, Feldenkrais, Pilates and now Body Mind Centering, a release somatic technic from United States (Bonnie Bainbridge Cohen, the fondator).

She founded Artincidence in 2003. The name of the company is about the deviation from “straight on”, when something new occurs in the process of creation. In research, improvisation remains a great tool. Many creations were designed in situ on the memory of the place. What is new is that dance creations are written as scores.
For her today, dance is a thought in action.

She wants to offer a new political vision in a performative way, questionning first her own black feminism, and now, her identity / post-idendity / the desidentity (or the whither identity).

In 2008, she had been distinguished for her very authentic solo "Resilience" at the first “Biennale Caribbean Dance” in Havana, in Cuba.

Now she travels all over the world with her solo « A freak show for S. » about the Black Venus, Sarah Baartman, since 2010 until now (Seattle, Liverpool, Montreal, Marseille, Ouagadougou, Ndjamena, Berlin, Giessen, Martinique, Marrakech, …)

With a certificate of contemporary dance, she gives workshops in prisons, in hospitals and to teenagers who are hard of hearing.

The company Artincidence has already realized six short films (X68019, Gala à Brossolette, Alix dans la cité, Ligne de fuite, Claudine à kahn, Antan Présent), sixteen dance creations (La Guêpe L 'orchidée, Voyage à travers la folie, S.D.F., Ceux qui restent, notre essence de verre, résilience, harmonisation fadeur, A la piscine, Tu tampoco estas solo, Un solo qui va pas plaire à ma mère, Iyam Tara, Ecume, Women part two, A woman, A freak show for S., Valeska and you  ) and three reading performances ( Je suis vivant, Les armes miraculeuses, Rock' and Love ) .
