Noiret, Michèle (Nombre de persona)

The choreographer Michèle Noiret joined Maurice Béjart's Mudra School in 1976, where she studied for three years. It was there she met Karlheinz Stockhausen, who spoke to her in 1977 about a project for a solo dance performance incorporated into his music. After leaving Mudra, she went on to study the composer's system for the notation of gestures, and worked with him as a soloist for 15 or so years. This collaboration gave rise to three works. Forming part of the Donnerstag aus Licht opera, the three acts were performed together for the first time in 1981 at La Scala, Milan, with Luca Ronconi as director and Gae Aulenti as set and costume designer. It was next produced in 1985, at London's Covent Garden, with Michaël Bogdanov and Maria Bjornson. https://www.michele-noiret.be/en/michele-noiret-0
