Constant Vigier
A choreographer on a perpetual quest for innovation.
A genius dance artist of multiple facets.
A compelling desire to link choreography and technology.
Constant Vigier in his own words…
…
To be a choreographer is such a privilege: right in the middle of tradition and innovation.
…
Movement and dance are part of who we are. Everyone should keep dancing!
…
I find the human condition so tragic yet beautiful and inspiring.
Constant Vigier in NPAFE’s words…
..…Constant Vigier isn’t “just” from Brittany in France. Not hardly. Determined to become a great dancer, Constant trained at l’Opéra de Paris, progressing from 5th division to 1st division. Spotted by ballet master Kevin Haigen at the end-of-year show organized by l’Opéra de Paris, Constant joined the Hamburg Ballet directed by John Neumeier.
…It was at the Hamburg Ballet that Constant had a revelation: he wanted to create and choreograph. Surrounded by dancers from all around the world, Constant grew as a person and as an artist in an international atmosphere, ready to embark on the discovery of new cultures and new sources of movement.
…In his opinion, a choreographer is first and foremost a director. When he creates, Constant likes to work around a concept or a story. He takes the time to let his ideas germinate as he meets new people and works on numerous projects. The choreographer’s role, he believes, is also to make the link between past, present and future, a relationship between tradition and innovation.
…In 2013, Constant joined Scottish Ballet as part of the corps de ballet. Being part of the corps de ballet, allowed him to realize the importance of the group and to see it as an entity in its own right. Constant told NPAFE: “All of us together have created something bigger than ourselves.” It is no surprise, then that he believes strongly that the choreographer must have an element of empathy and diplomacy and, as a manager, must know how to lead a team.
…During Covid-19, Constant launched an outside-the-box project merging dance and video: 16-1. With everyone claiming to be a filmmaker, he wanted to prove the complexity of the profession and create something innovative. As an entrepreneur, Constant noticed that the preferred format for conveying a message was the square video on Instagram. He shot 16 videos, choreographed and executed to perfection. This work demanded perseverance and enormous precision, because put together, the 16 videos form a dance structure that no longer makes sense if the dancer is one second late on one of the videos. Once edited, the video resembles an image composed of 16 pixels. The dancer’s movements define an image in constant motion, and suddenly the dancer disappears to create a much larger drawing with his or her body.
…NPAFE is proud to support an artist such as Constant Vigier. NPAFE believes in Constant’s ambitions and is convinced that he can achieve great things as a choreographer. His previous works bear witness to this, and can be found a little further down this page in the “Constant Vigier: video gallery” section.
