    BIOGRAPHICAL NOTES LOUISE LECAVALIER Born in Montreal, Louise LECAVALIER studied modern dance in Montreal and New York. A professional dancer since 1977, she has performed with such companies as Nouvelle Aire and Pointépiénu, and for independent choreographers in Montreal and New York. In 1982, she choreographed the solo No, No, No, I Am Not Mary Poppins, presented in Montreal in 1982. She joined La La La Human Steps in 1981 for its production of Oranges and went on to perform in each of the company’s productions up until 1999. In 1985, Louise Lecavalier became the first Canadian to win a Bessie Award in New York for her performance in Businessman in the Process of Becoming an Angel (1983). She danced in Human Sex (1985), New Demons (1987), Infante (1991) and finally, 2 (1995) and Exaucé/Salt (1998), where she achieved a rare maturity as a dancer. As the company’s icon and luminary for nearly two decades, she gave heart and soul to her art. She embodied dance on the outer edge, performing with passion and unrestrained generosity, dazzling audiences worldwide. She has been described as “the most tragically brilliant dancer alive today. A flame on legs” (Melody Maker, London). “The essence of La La La Human Steps. Often imitated, never equalled. She remains the untameable platinum-blonde rebel, refusing all chains. For her, dance is an act of sharing” (Le Monde, Paris). Louise Lecavalier also participated in each of La La La’s major collaborations.

Compagne des arts et des lettres du Québec En épinglant l'insigne honorifique, Marie Côté , présidente du conseil d'administration du CALQ, nomme Louise Lecavalier Compagne des arts et des lettres du Québec, le 23 mars 2015. Photo: Anis Hammoud Le texte de présentation qui suit a été prononcé lors de la cérémonie de remise de l'Ordre des arts et des lettres du Québec, le 23 mars 2015. Danseuse extraordinaire et chorégraphe intense, Louise Lecavalier est immensément impressionnante. Il est impossible de la regarder danser sans être hypnotisé par sa virtuosité et ému par son expression. Sa longue collaboration avec Édouard Lock a marqué l'histoire de la danse québécoise. Qui n'a pas retenu son souffle devant ses vrilles horizontales, sa cadence endiablée et ses duos athlétiques avec Marc Béland? Pendant 17 ans, elle collabore avec La La La Human Steps, où elle participe intimement aux créations, devenant l'icône emblématique de la compagnie qui devient mondialement connue, s'illustrant notamment dans Human Sex, New Demons, Infante, c'est destroy . Elle a dansé avec David Bowie et Frank Zappa et est immortalisée dans des films ou vidéos de Michael Apted, Kathryn Bigelow, Bernar Hébert, Carole Laure et Nam June Paik. Investie corps et âme dans son art, elle incarne une danse extrême, bouleversant les publics de partout. Le périodique Melody Maker de Londres voit en elle la danseuse "la plus brillante et la plus tragique de notre époque, une danseuse aux jambes de feu".

William Forsythe Choreography, Stage Design, Lighting and Costume Design Thom Willems Sound Design Tanja Rühl Technical Consultant Cyril Baldy, Amancio Gonzalez Staging N.N.N.N. appears as a mind in four parts, four dancers in a state of constant, tacit connection. Underscored by the sudden murmured flashes of Thom Willems’ music, the men enter into a complex, intense inscription. Their arms, heads, bodies and legs become singular voices, each tuned and in counterpoint to the other. These performers write out a text of the voice of the body, slowly, then more and more rapidly, coalescing over and over into a linked entity of flinging arms, folding joints and a sharp, high sense of time. Hubbard Street is honored to be the first U.S. dance company to perform William Forsythe’s N.N.N.N., restaged by original cast members Cyril Baldy and Amancio Gonzalez in fall 2015. Created for and premiered by Ballett Frankfurt November 21, 2002 at the Opernhaus, Frankfurt am Main, Germany.
