"Marie Al Fajr (France/Egypt)

tanz raum founding member

choreographer – dancer – teacher

artistic director Cie Al Fajr

“A creative genius, who transcends tradition without separating from it”

Marie has been dancing since her early youth and has learned various dance techniques and forms of physical training. She studied Egyptian dance with Suraya Hilal from 1989 to 2004 and subsequently worked closely with her. Marie al Fajr is a highly qualified dancer and teacher. She has danced with the Hilal Dance Company, holds a diploma from the Hilal School in London, and is certified as a licensed teacher at the highest level by the Hilal Art Foundation.

Today, she has her own company and contributes to creating a modern form of Egyptian dance that is still rooted in traditional aesthetics. Since the age of 15, she has travelled extensively in Middle Eastern countries. She gained her in-depth understanding of Arabian art and culture through her academic studies (diploma in the Arabic language and aesthetics of Arabic art).

For several years now, she has established her second home in Cairo and has developed a sensibility for Arab and European culture. Here, she gets her inspiration, always searching for authentic forms of the country’s traditions – tahtib, sufi-zhikr and other popular expressions, including music. These impressions feed her research and help her to cultivate a contemporary expression in her choreography and teaching. With her talent, knowledge, expertise and enthusiasm, she is invited to international workshops throughout Europe. Marie Al Fajr has created and danced in numerous stage productions. Her major achievements that are ground-breaking in the art form are Schemm en Nassim - une odeur de brise (2004) and Roda ou le jardin des desires (2009).

Schemm en Nassim is a sublime contemporary dance performance based on the traditional Egyptian dance language, inspired by ancient Egyptian aesthetics. The programme has been officially invited to Egypt and was performed in the Forum for Independent Theatre Groups in Bibliotheca Alexandria, attracting enormous public interest and press coverage. Shemm en Nassim has also been performed in Germany, France and Italy and is available on DVD.

Marie Al Fajr’s latest programme, Roda, premiered at the Institut du Monde Arabe in Paris in 2009 and has been officially invited to Egypt several times. For a good reason: once again, with her creative genius, she transcends tradition without separating from it. In both programmes, Marie Al Fajr works with the well-known Egyptian-Armenian composer Georges Kazazian, who shares a similar creative path."

"Caroline Chevat (France/Switzerland)

director tanz raum

dancer – teacher – percussionist

certified yoga teacher

“Caroline is one of the rare female artists, who are at the same time educated as dancer and musician and who masters the Egyptian male combat form on a high level”.

Caroline has loved dance and music since her early youth. After completing her studies in landscape engineering and geography at the universities of Lyon, Annecy, Mannheim and Constance, she dedicated herself to music, dance and photography. Since 1996, she has trained with Claudia Heinle at the tanz raum and has gained further experience through international workshops and dance weeks with Marie al Fajr and Suraya Hilal.

Caroline Chevat has been a dancer with the tanz raum Cie since 2006. She performed in the programme Abyad and can be seen on the DVD of the same name. She choreographed pieces in Cie tanz raum´s production Akhou and was heavily involved in the entire creative process. Akhou has also been published on the DVD.

In 2009, she was awarded a certificate from the Arab Republic of Egypt (El Minya Governorate) for her excellent performance at an intensive course on tahtib with artistic director and dancer Yahia Abdel Alim. Beyond that, Caroline Chevat is one of the few female tabla players in the world. She has been an accomplished student of Ibrahim el Minyawi since 1995, learning the art form in the traditional way from master to student and finding her own strengths and expression. Since 2008 she has been training with Master Yogi Khane, creator of Pharaonic Yoga. In 2009, she started a teacher training course at the European Yoga School and accomplished her course in 2013.

The beauty and sophistication of Egyptian music and the absence of quality recordings inspired her to produce the first CD with Ibrahim el Minyawi in 2000. Since then, she has travelled regularly and extensively throughout Egypt to do field research for tanz raum music projects, bringing together skilled musicians to record and produce their traditional repertoire as well as innovative, high-quality music. She produces, edits and distributes CDs worldwide under the tanz raum label.

Caroline Chevat together with Claudia Heinle is director of tanz raum and makes an invaluable contribution to preserving a rich musical heritage that is in danger of dying out. She teaches Egyptian dance and Egyptian tabla in Switzerland, Germany, France, Spain and Sweden."
