By her choreographic writing, combining esthetical sobriety, minimalist movement, precise composition and the use of electronic sounds, Cindy Van Acker examines with a quasi scientific meticulousness the relations between body and spirit, sound and rhythm, and creates pieces crossing the borders of dance, performance and visual arts.
Coming from ballet, Cindy Van Acker initially danced in Belgium in the Royal Ballet of Flanders. She later joined the Ballet du Grand Theatre de Genève, since then the Swiss city became her new place of living. Greatly interested by the experiments that contemporary dance offers, she became the interpreter of choreographers such as Philippe Saire, Laura Tanner, Noemi Lapzeson, Estelle Héritier and Myriam Gourfink.
She creates her own pieces since 1994 but truly started an international career with Corps 00:00, created in 2002 at Theatre de l'ADC in Geneva. This solo, conceived like the systematic exploration of the influences between the mental and the physique, grafted to the organic body movements caused by the electrical pulses of a machine. This choreography, recently performed at Teatro Comandini in Cesena (Director Romeo Castellucci) has been presented from Lille (Danse à Lille) to Milan (Festival Uovo), via Llandudno Festival or La Porta in Barcelone.
It's this research process and this topic she has developed in her second solo Balk 00:49, created in 2003 at Theatre Arsenic (Lausanne). In 2004 the piece was presented at Kaaitheater in Bruxelles and Festival Latitudes Contemporaines in Lille. Lately, it has been proposed to Barcelona's audience during the first La Porta Festival in March 2007 and also in Bonlieu, scène nationale d'Annecy (France).
