Choreographer Catherine Diverrès's work and excerpts of her shows.
Catherine Diverrès was born in Bègles in 1959, and made her first apparition in the contemporary dance's world in the middle of the 80s. She immediately refused postmodern American creations and developped a dancing universe that was her own. She made her name thanks to duos with Bernard Montet, with whom she followed the teaching of Kazuo Ohno in Japan in 1982-1983.
