Clément Layes

Clément Layes attended the professional circus school of Lyon, studied art and philosophy. He studied dance at the Conservatoire National de Région and the Conservatoire National Superieur de Musique et de Danse de Lyon. He worked among others with Boris Charmatz, Odile Duboc and Yval Pick. In 2003 he started his choreographic research in the collective ALS (as, comme). Since 2008 he works in Berlin and, together with Jasna Vinovrški he funded the company Public in Private.

He develops a method of work that confronts choreography, visual arts and conceptual thinking in a research around daily life objects. This research has led to his solo-work Allege premiered at Sophiensæle Berlin in 2010 and presented at festivals and venues across Europe. He was awarded by the jury of the 38th Infant Festival (Novi Sad, Serbia), and received a prize in Jardin d’Europe 2011. Recent visibility of the method includes To Allege (2011) and the duett entitled The green chair. Um-Dinge – Things that surround us premiered in Sophiensæle in 2012. Even his upcoming work dreamed apparatus will be shown here in 2014.
