French-born Philippe Blanchard, started with choreography in Sweden in 1993 after ten years of dancing for world-famous companies such as Nederlands Dans Theater, Batsheva Dance Company and the Cullberg Ballet. In 2000, Blanchard formed ADEKWHAT, a flexible organization based in Stockholm designed to respond to projects and collaborations within the performing arts. Blanchard’s creations are installation-like studies of human behaviour and relationships, including Noodles (2001), three collaborative works with Gemma Higginbotham, How About You? (2010) and a piece in collaboration with Swedish choreographer Björn Säfsten for Malmö’s Skånes Dansteater (2013).
