Remy Charlip
Résumé
This paper explores how dancer and choreographer Remy Charlip used his dance performances as an inspiration to illustrate children’s picture books. Working along with John Cage and Merce Cunningham, he was involved in various artistic fields. He was a dancer, both an author and an illustrator of picture books, as well as a costume designer. His picture books were deeply influenced by dance and his choreographic process was stimulated by his design practices. His performances on stage were important sources of inspiration for his visual storytelling for children. Books were also used as “visual scores” to enhance his dance creations. In his artistic practice, both dance and picture books are attempts to translate a child’s energy and an exploration of spatial and graphic possibilities.
Cet article vise à explorer comment le danseur et chorégraphe Remy Charlip a utilisé son expérience de la performance comme source d’inspiration pour illustrer ses albums pour enfants. Ayant collaboré avec John Cage et Merce Cunningham, il s’est investi dans multiples domaines artistiques que ce soit la dance, l’écriture et l’illustration de livres ainsi que la création de costumes. La danse et son écriture chorégraphique ont eu une telle influence sur ses albums que certains sont comparables à des “partitions visuelles”. La danse et les albums ont constitué des tentatives pour traduire l’énergie enfantine tout comme ils ont révélé des explorations graphiques dans le monde de cet artiste total.
