    1. If I Can’t Dance invited Marie de Brugerolle to be the first cultural practitioner to carry out research in the programme Performance in Residence. The performance Five Sisters by Guy de Cointet is the focus of her study.

      Guy de Cointet (1934 – 1983) was a French artist who became well known among artists in Los Angeles in the ‘60s and ‘70s. Five Sisters is the last performance that was staged during his lifetime and marks a departure from his earlier work in its attention for light as the main catalyst of emotion.

      Marie de Brugerolle started her six month research period in November 2010. This moment kicked off with a presentation of de Cointet’s play Iglu at Frascati WG (in collaboration with Robert Wilhite); a lecture at the Stedelijk Museum about his work by Marie de Brugerolle; and a workshop for students of the Dutch Art Institute with actress Jane Zingale.
