Anne-Catherine Nicoladzé
About
Anne-Catherine Nicoladzé is a dancer, performer, and pedagogue. She followed a general and university education oriented toward art, the body, and the stage, and specialized in contemporary dance and Contact Improvisation. Her interest in the friction between disciplines — echoes and resonances in physicality, poetics, relationships to gravity, sensory diversity, architecture, and context — has led her to work on or accompany creative projects as performer, co-author, or outside eye. She teaches courses, workshops, and labs for diverse audiences, from young children to the elderly, including people with motor or mental disabilities, professionals, and trainers, at institutions such as anPad, IFGT, and the Conservatoire National Supérieur de Musique et de Danse de Paris, where she joined the teaching staff for Contact Improvisation and partnering. A Body-Mind Centering® educator in infant motor development since 2013, she participates in Sparks, a European project on somatic practices and disability. Engaged in the practice of MA with Mandoline Whittlesey, Lisa Nelson's Tuning Scores, and Catherine Contour's hypnotic tool for creation, a sensitivity to collective intelligence, creativity, and listening to silence connects her different practices.
