We chat to award winning French choreographer and artistic director of Ballet Preljocaj, Angelin Preljocaj.

In the mid-1960s on the outskirts of Paris, two dance teachers welcomed a young boy in judo pants into a ballet class, despite protests from his parents.

Two decades later Angelin Preljocaj founded his own company, Ballet Preljocaj, which now has 24 dancers and occupies the iconic Pavillon Noir, a purpose built choreographic centre, in Aix-en-Provence. QPAC spoke with the award winning French choreographer and artistic director on a recent visit to Brisbane.
