FRANCK BEAUBOIS

"Franck Beaubois is French by origin, but for a considerable period time he lives in Brussels. He followed a training in plastic arts in Caen and Avignon, where he became part of the collective Faits Divers and he collaborated on a number of interactive installations and public performances. Then he devoted himself to dance studies, mainly focused on improvisation. Since 1997 he has developed several dance projects under the heading ’Transition’, in collaboration with Patricia Kuypers and musicians like Barre Philips and Ninh Le Quanh. He also does more and more research into movement through the medium of video and interactive software like Max MSP. The live-project Delay versus Duo was presented, among others, during the Mais festival (Brussels) and Musique Action (Vandoeuvre-lès-Nancy)." (Argos festival 2005 catalogue)
