Stephanie C. Davis Dance Residency

Compagnie HERVÉ KOUBI

Compagnie Hervé KOUBI

Led by the imaginative French-Algerian choreographer, Compagnie Hervé KOUBI is known for its gravity-defying fusion of contemporary movement, capoeira and urban dance that transforms the stage into a playground for possibilities. Their work seeks to bridge the gap between the social dances and the cultures of today with a dance that gathers, unites and builds links between people.

“The dancers of Compagnie Hervé Koubi…could be mistaken for gods. They glide, spin, toss one another in high arcs through the air, exhibiting an uncanny mastery of the body, and a gravitas that renders their movements into poetry.”

~ The New Yorker
