Profile of an artist | Four questions, one portrait.
Video interview with the dancers and choreographers Corinne Rochet and Nicholas Pettit, who founded the Co. Utilité Publique in 2003 in Lausanne (Switzerland). Corinne Rochet and Nicholas Pettit have danced for many contemporary choreographers such as Claude Brumachon, Dominique Bagouet, Jean Gaudin, Rui Horta, Stéphanie Aubin, Michel Kelemenis, Philippe Saire, Da Motus, Arthur Kuggeleyn, Nicole Seiler, Fabienne Berger and Guilherme Botelho. In 2007, they were winners of the European choreographic contest, AEROWAVES, for the piece FIZZ which gave the company international renown. The Co. Utilité Pulique benefits from a grant agreement with the Vaud County (2015-2017) and a 2013-2015 biennal support agreement from the City of Lausanne. On the 6 of december we met them after their performance “Morphoses” at Musei Bassano.
