Nicolas Huchard

Nicolas Huchard has been dancing his whole life. He was only six when he choreographed his first dance. Since then, he’s danced for the world’s greats: Jean Paul Gaultier, Marion Motin, Madonna, Maurice Béjart. He became one of the queens of Christine and the Queens fame, and he’s worked with musicians Angèle, Suzane and Aya Nakamura.

Each collaboration is an exploration of boundaries – between softness and strength, between feminine and masculine, between continents and disciplines. Nicolas Huchard likes rough edges – which create uniqueness. The launch of his company in 2018 embodies this exploration, its values and its struggles. It’s a political terrain where dance inscribes activism in bodies: in “social dance”.
