DIPLOMA PROJECT / THESIS
- Project title: Movement Is Dance
- Description: Movement is a dance. Life is movement: our breath, the beating of our heart. But it is also the language of the hands and the expression of the body. The beauty of a movement depends on the eye of the audience. I invite you to open your eyes to everything that emerges from the simplicity – or complexity – of movement. I invite you to see dance wherever there is movement. From living, loving, fighting, feeling emotions and dancing in a club, dance is within us and it is everywhere.

Q&A WITH LUCIE GAUDE
What does dance mean to you?
- Dance is movement. I see dance everywhere, and that’s what moves me. When I think of dance, I think of sharing. It’s about expressing even when there’s nothing to say; just feeling is enough.
What memory will you take with you from your time at ZHdK?
- From ZHdK, I’ll take the bubble of time we were given. That unique space, with dedicated friends and teachers, which I had the chance to experience. I felt like I was in the TV series “Fame”.
Which work or choreographer particularly inspires you, and why?
- In my first year, I particularly enjoyed working with Lida Doumouliaka and Nadav Zelner. In my second year, it was Édouard Hue and Caroline Finn. I think all four of them were very demanding but also very attentive to the dancers. They trusted us and allowed us to be ourselves when we danced.
