Anne Teresa De Keersmaeker (b. 1960) founded her dance company,
Rosas, in 1983. Her work is grounded on a rigorous exploration of
the relationship between dance and music, and over the years she
has engaged the musical structures and scores of different periods
and genres, from early music to contemporary expressions of
classical and popular music. Her choreographic practice draws from
geometric principles, nature, and social structures to offer unique
perspectives on the articulation of the body in space and time. The
minimalism of De Keersmaeker's earliest pieces gave way over the
years to ingenious constructions for large ensembles. Then in 2007,
the choreography underwent a fundamental change with the emergence
of a new kind of minimalism, a paring down to essential principles
of sparseness; the spatial constraints of geometric patterns; an
unwavering commitment to elementary gestures, notably walking,
breathing, and speaking; and a close adherence to a score, musical
or otherwise, for the choreographic writing. Photographers Anne Van
Aerschot and Herman Sorgeloos were privileged witnesses to this
process, and their images, gathered here for the first time, offer
an exceptionally acute look at Rosas's work over the last decade.
