Stanley Ollivier FR

Stanley Ollivier is a French dancer, performer and choreographer. He studied at the International Dance Academy and CNSMDP in Paris, and obtained his Master of Dance at P.A.R.T.S. in Brussels.

He is interested in physical investigations, including but not limited to movement. He works around questions related to the place of entertainment in contemporary dance, context displacement, identity, care, humour, and versatility.
