Synopsis

The American dancer and choreographer, Carolyn Carlson, at present artistic director at the Centre Choréographique National de Roubaix/Nord-Pas-de-Calais and famous for her dazzling solo performances, talks to us in this very personal interview about her career and more especially the close relationship she has maintained with her master, Alwin Nilolais, and the influence Zen Buddhism has had on her dance and teaching. This movie also shows us the importance she accords to the transmission of her art through the master classes she gives at the "Atelier de Paris-Carolyn Carlson" that she founded in 1999 at the Cartoucherie de Vincennes, near Paris, and now runs.
