Russell Maliphant a présenté dimanche 20/11 à Cannes, dans le cadre du Festival de danse 2005 deux ouvrages nouveaux ou récents, Transmission, pour cinq danseuses, et Push, originellement écrit pour Sylvie Guillem :

Transmission était dimanche soir la création la plus attendue, Sylvie Guillem ayant rendu populaire Russell Maliphant en France et en Angleterre. Malgré une ou deux séquences un peu répétitives, Transmission pour cinq danseuses contient des pages d'une admirable beauté. Tout y est lisse, onctueux, avec des clairs-obscurs dignes du Caravage – Russell travaille depuis dix ans avec le créateur de lumière Michael Hulls – mettant en valeur une main, des bras ou des épaules de manière inoubliable.
En seconde partie, Push, conçu pour Sylvie Guillem et Russell Maliphant (qui l'ont créé le 30 septembre dernier au Sadler's Wells en ouverture du festival France Moves dont Yorgos Loukos est également l'organisateur), était interprété pour la première fois par Julie Guibert et Alexander Varona. |
Le Figaro annonce d'ailleurs que Push sera repris l'an prochain au Théâtre des Champs-Elysées par Sylvie Guillem et Russell Maliphant, justement.

I had watched a contemporary Mixed Bill at Royal Opera House, Covent Garden, London, in Dec of 2003. Among the 4 bills there was one called "Broken Fall" choreographed by Russel Maliphant and performed by Sylvie Guillem and Ballet Boyz(Micheal Nunn and William Trevitt, guest principal of Royal Ballet). "Broken Fall" was my most favourite work in this Mixed Bill. I was so impressed by Sylvie Guillem's technique and performance. And what was more amazing was the spirit (not manner) of Tai Chi expressed in this choreography.
Below I quote some words from the booklet of this work:
| Citation: |
......
Maliphant's choreographic style envolved alongside his changing experience as a performer. He became master of an unusually self-contained strength that manifested itself less through aggessive athleticism than through a superb physical control. The meditative calm and relaxed breathing technique he acquired from yoga and T'ai Chi were evident in the liquid ease of his dancing and its capacity to remain centred even in a state of fast moving disequilibrium. The tumbling partnerwork of contact improvisation taught him to harness his own and other's energies in apparently risky, off-the-cuff feats of lifting and balance.
......
Maliphant's dancers are also essential to this chemistry, and Broken Fall is a typically intimate response to its three performers, Sylvie Guillem, Micheal Nunn and William Trevitt. It was in fact Guillem who initiated the collaboration, after having watched a performance of Maliphant's work given jointly by his own company and George Piper Dances. Fascinated by Maliphant's style and eager to experience it for herself, Guillem asked to be included in his next creation for George Piper Dances, hence the appearance of Nunn and Trevitt as guest artist in The Royal Ballet premiere of the piece. Maliphant's work is increasingly in demand from other companies and his commission have included work for Lyon Opera Ballet, the Batsheva Ensemble, Nuremberg Ballet and for Channel 4.
