JEAN PHILIPPE DURY

Jean Philippe Dury began his dance studies at the age of six. He enters the dance school of the Paris Opera at the age of eleven and joins the company seven years later. During this period he also worked with renowned contemporary choreographers such as Lionel Hoche, Jean-Claude Gallotta, Laura Scozzi, Maurice Béjart, Pina Bausch, Mats Ek, William Forsythe and Jirí Kylián.

In September 2007, invited by Nacho Duato, he joined the National Dance Company as a principal dancer. In 2009 Gradimir Pankov calls him as a guest artist at the Grands Ballets de Montréal. Back in Spain in 2010 he returns to the National Dance Company for the last season of its artistic director, Nacho Duato, and settles permanently in Madrid.

In 2013, Jean Philippe creates his own company Elephant in The Black Box and wins the first prize at the Talent Madrid festival with Cel Black Day. In 2106, Dury starts a comprehensive project for dance and young people that runs parallel to his work with EBB and invitations from international companies (Basel Ballet, Leipzig Opera Ballet) as a choreographer.

With more than fifteen choreographies he is also resident choreographer in Leipzig. EBB Dance Company tours in the United States, South Korea, Spain, France, Switzerland and participates in various festivals. Dury is a daring and innovative creator, demanding in the interpretation and technical registers whose choreographic trajectory is identified by his own language.
