As the only contemporary dance platform in Luxembourg, TROIS C-L aims to encourage and display the work of the dancers and choreographers contributing to the rich and dynamic nature of the national cultural landscape.
These artists, from Luxembourg itself or from the Grande Region (an area of cross-border cooperation which brings together regions of Germany, France, Belgium and Luxembourg), work throughout the year in direct collaboration with TROIS C-L.
Discover each one of their detailed profiles below!
After completing his piano studies at the Conservatorio “G. Verdi” Conservatory in Turin (I), Gianfranco studied contemporary dance at the “Folkwang” College in Essen (D) and at the “Accademia Isola Danza” in Venice under Carolyn Carlson. In 1999 he was awarded a scholarship for the “Dance WEB” training programme in Vienna.
He has worked with Les Ballet C. de la B. (B), Unit.Control (L), Arazzo Tanztheater (D) and others. Since 2002 he has been developing his own choreographic language. Since 2014 he has been teaching Contact Improvisation in Luxembourg.
“Tania Soubry is a dancer, performer and choreographer, working with body, voice and sound, as well as with place, relationality and transformation. She has created and toured works in Europe, Canada and Hong Kong, ranging from live performances to immersive works and gallery installations. She often works collaboratively and some projects include facilitating, welcoming, interacting and/or participating.
Through sensuality, humour and solidarity, her practice and work are inspired by animism and motivated by poetic re-enchantment, while being in dialogue with political ecology, feminism, decolonialism and queer theories and practices. As a result of tensions, wounds, problems, questions, curiosities and desires, she is concerned with regeneration on an individual, social and planetary level, sometimes through collectivity, joy or using fictional imagination to face the present and create possibilities.
She is co-founder and artistic director of Vibrant Matter.
As a dancer/collaborator, she has worked with collectives, artists, choreographers and companies such as Exit Map, Tino Segal and Pepa Ubera.”

” Dance and movement artist. Working with movement. Questioning: What is movement in a given moment and what remains after? What is the before and after? How does it affect the present and how does movement relate to time and space?
What can we draw from momentary experiences and how can we apply them to broader conclusions about society and living-together?
Reoccuring themes throughout the work of Annick Schadeck: Transformation, the boundaries between the organic and the inorganic, of movement and stillness, time and space, colors and music.
How to translate nature? How does nature translate the human form? “

2021 – THOUGHT BY SIGNS
“After their training in classical ballet, jazz and modern dance in Luxembourg, they studied Architecture at the Swiss Federal Institute of technology in Zurich (ETHZ) and Media Arts at the Universities of the Arts in Zurich (ZHdK) and Vienna (Angewandte). Besides their academic studies, they worked internationally as a makeup artist in fashion and film, trained in contemporary dance and explored the art of drag in San Francisco’s and Zurich’s nightclubs. Today, they combine all these experiences in their eclectic artistic practice combining and oscillating between movement, performance, photography, video, text and installation. They work independently as well as collaboratively in varying contexts ranging from alternative and underground spaces to theaters, galleries and other cultural institutions, defying any kind of categorization of the art world.
Intrigued by the complexities and entanglements of the body, human psychology, interpersonal relationships, social norms and the relations of power that permeate our societies and identities, Valerie Reding explores the potential of vulnerability, auto-fiction, togetherness, transformation and “camp“ to work on questions around subjectivity and relationality with an intersectional approach.“

2020 Dance From Home
” Aifric allows her passage through life to inform her evolving and varied artistic choices. She is presently concerned with the outreach of dance; extending dance to a wider audience through creating community dance projects, projects by and for youth, people with disabilities and in developing ways in which audiences themselves can be diversified through her projects with Lucoda. Environment, perception of her and others’ reality and multidisciplinary art continue to be themes of interest within her work. “
” My work is concerned with articulating textures around the uncertain, the messy, the unresolved, the complex, and opening spaces to relate to not-knowing. I am interested in creating striking and existential worlds, situated between fiction and a heightened reality. Surreal, intensely playful, and interested in form and formality, my practice spans dance, theatre, performance, visual art, drawing, and writing. “

“Life is the dancer and you are the dance” (E.Tolle)
My curiosity lies in the nature of human interactions, the potential of dance to go beyond linguistic, gender and cultural barriers to create new modes of connections. My work tends to use narration and building characters in order to create pieces that will reach to anyone and everyone on different levels. I want to create questioning through humour, wit, and emotions, explore what it means to be human in all of its paradoxes, bring dance close to the audience so that they may access and identify themselves with the piece. Dance is a media through which freedom, emotion, and imagination can be fully explored and allow oneself to question our habits and comfort zones, it can help us perceive and interact with reality in new ways.
On a more personal level, through dancing I want to try to explore my role and purpose in this paradox of life, create sense where there is none, explore the absurd and glorious nature of Being Alive.

” Hannah Ma and her teams (hannahmadance | Trier, GER, The People United asbl | LU, Haus Noir | ZA, Studio Hannah Ma Alps | Berchtesgaden, GER) are international art producers and multidiciplinary art makers focusing on making a local impact through discussing the socio-political questions that move us globally.
Hannahs focus lies on contemporary rituals and the translation of archaic roots within our society. Her choreographic works are divided in two directions: “Taming Monsters” (recreations of classic theatre themes) and “Transformances”. Hannah reflects on eurocentrism, (post-) colonialism, racism, sexism and focuses on diversity- mainstreaming, empowerment of feminist actions and genderfluidity. Her choreographic language is creatively mixing elements of dance and theatre, of ballet, dancetheatre and performance.
Hannahs ensemble “The People United” has performed with theatre directors such as: Martin G. Berger (Faust Theaterpreisträger), Christian Götz and Quark & Golfarb amongst others. Hannah was commissioned as a director/ creator and speaker to make performing art creations, masterclasses and lectures by institutions such as: Theater Dessau (Choreography: “Faust”, 2017), Arp Museum am Rolandseck (Choreography: “Tanz mit Maske”, 2018), Jomba! Festival (Concept paper: “The politics of intimacy”, 2021), Theater Trier (Choreography: “OZ” 2009), National Arts Festival Makanda (Choreography: “Syphides- humans-fishes-birds”/ opening show of the festival 2019), Tanzkomplizen Berlin/ Nora Amin (Lecture: “The performative politcal body of today”/ 2020), Theatres de la Ville (Choreography: “A rather odd question”/ Larisa Faber, TalentLAB 2020)
Her work was evaluated by the German Unesco Commission partnered by Bertelsmann Stiftung for the publication: “Kunst in der Migrationsgesellschaft- Beiträge der Künste für ein Zusammenleben in Vielfalt” and chosen to be published as one of twelfe German best-practice models for working with the topic of migration/ refugees in 2017.
In 2020 | 2021 | 2022 Hannah is partnering with festivals, theatres and institutions such as Cape Town City Ballet, Jomba! Festival Durban Southafrica, Trois C-L Choreographic Center Luxemburg, Business and Arts Southafrica (amongst others) to produce multidiciplinary, body- and movement based art through the deepening of the research on the theme: Transition into the WE | Transition ins WIR.
She is the editor of: The People United Magazin | Performing Arts Festival | on paper, a publication with digital performance content (in collaboration with Dirk Seifert | Conpep Verlag Ltd, / Kiteboarding Magazin)

” Yuko Kominami’s work consists of experiments with movements in-between (movements of becoming) where intensities of individuals intersect. It is a place where extreme existence and inevitable metamorphoses materialize. And through these experiments she aims towards affirmation of multiple and fragmented connections of “a life”. “

” As a dancer and performer; I am very intrigued by the intelligence of the body and therefore by its metamorphosis in time and space. I explore limits by wondering if they are really limits. I like to observe for a long time, but when it’s time, I truly enjoy the moment to let go. “
” I like to work with movement, art and science in an organic way. Developing dance science oriented movement research, my present focus is on the exploration of the fascial connective tissue as a living matrix to re(de)fine training, performance and creation. The results are contemporary choreographic pieces where analytical thinking supports and challenges formal and informal movement. “

” It’s all about suspension, restraint and letting go. The movement is much like a machine, once you start it, you let it do its own work. It continues endlessly, like a spiral that rises from the earth.
Authenticity and instinct – how to untie knots and open doors. Finding identity and personality in the process of moving through space and time.
My work is about getting lost in the real world and catching the soul and spirit in an inner world. Changing emotions, traveling with them. Playing characters, living them – finding yourself in them. The studio is a playground where there is no room for judgment. It’s all about trust and sincerity, about connecting with the other, about receiving, giving and exchanging.
What inspires me? Life and all its emotions, from the most beautiful to the most poignant. Deconstructing walls in order to see the opposite and thus be able to find balance. Black, negative, cloudy sky — finding colours, a ray of sunshine.
I am inspired by stories, people, sanity, strong emotions,… as long as I feel connected and the need to explore it, I’ll go for it. “

In her choreographic research, Sarah Baltzinger is having fun exploring all possible avenues around the puppet body. Her language unfolds through protean objects that navigate between absurd theatricality and fragmented bodies. She populates her various works with hybrid creatures and mechanical puppets to create liberating objects that seek to reveal our fragilities, and likes to use the body, in conjunction with different materials, as a complex tool of possibilities aimed at transforming the natural approach to movement to create strange worlds. Her movement explores distortion, disarticulation, mechanical gesture and combinations of bodies. In her creative process, she tends to reveal the singularities of each individual by conducting a genuine theatrical research.
Sarah Baltzinger’s work questions the impact of our environment and its consequences on our identity and intimacy, the way it transforms and affects us, constraining or liberating us. It questions the way how we present ourselves to the world, and how the body becomes a vehicle for multiple, elusive and surprising representations. She works closely with the multi-disciplinary artist Isaiah Wilson, with whom she has formed a partnership for several years.

Isaiah Wilson is an experimental artist based in Luxembourg. His work combines contemporary dance, video, electronic music composition & computational art. This medium diversity allows Isaiah to create unique and immersive worlds in which he invites his audience into layered sensorial experiences designed to reveal their vulnerability and eventually bring them closer to themselves. Isaiah makes a point to have the audience being part of the space and as a result, part of the performance, be it through the nature of the sites he chooses or by reimagining their very framework. Isaiah creates art pieces that challenge the human body, plunging it into worlds built from chaos and hope. With an existentialist reading Isaiah aims to explore the many facets of human emotions by showing them through an absurd lens, juxtaposed with the ever-changing technological advancements of the 21st century.

” Elisabeth Schilling makes dances beyond dance. With an international team and across different collaborations, we develop transdisciplinary projects between movement, design, visual and plastic arts and music, making the disciplines dance among themselves and with each other. We have thus tasked ourselves with making contemporary dance happen in established dance spaces as well as in unusual places. Accordingly, our productions tour European metropolises as well as more rural areas, black box theaters as well as museums, galleries, concert halls, historic buildings and public spaces. Dance is thus, almost in passing, rendered accessible to a new public. At the same time, an important part of our work consists in different formats of creative learning for each production, we develop a programme for various audiences, ranging from specifically devised post-performance discussions with the audience to accompanying workshops, symposia and catalogues. “

” Giovanni is based on human relationships and dialogue through dance. Her multidisciplinary artistic approach focuses on body confidence, guided by her inherent energy where images, movements and emotions appear. Fascinated by the complexity of the human being, his work explores the instinct, identity and authenticity of movement, transposing it into a poetic and absurd universe. These works are transposed into social, philosophical, emotional and timeless subjects in order to materialize them in a universe that is both dreamlike and real, clashing the tragic and the comic, the expected and the unexpected, distortion with grace for them. to bring together in space, time and present moments and to bring out the human through dance.
Interested in research, sharing and transmission, he attaches importance to the accessibility of dance, mixing the different arts and universes that allow him to get closer to the public in order to expand and establish artistic possibilities. His writing and his choreographic language are constantly evolving, questioning himself through curiosity and exploration in order to refine and develop his universe. “

I am fascinated by the uncompromising tension, inherent to our human condition; that twisted corporeal needs vs. spiritual life. I am interested in emotional and physical states and how they create movements. I am interested in the collision between the graceful and the dissonant, the comic and the tragic, the grotesque and the transcendent. The constant back and forth between the shape and the depth, the brutal movement. I believe cultural constructions, stifled pulses and the absurdity of our human condition at its most bizarre are at the centre of my work. Dance becomes a tool to question what is beyond us: this intangible thing that makes us wholly human.
