Michael Clark

Michael Clark est un danseur et chorégraphe britannique né à Aberdeen (Écosse) le 2 juillet 1962.

Dans son enfance il pratique la danse écossaise puis entame des études à la Royal Ballet School de Londres (1975-1979), suivant des stages d'été avec Merce Cunningham.

Il débute sa carrière au Ballet Rambert en 1979 et, deux ans plus tard, rejoint la compagnie de Karole Armitage. En 1984 il fonde sa propre compagnie, Michael Clark and Dancers. Il chorégraphie pour le Ballet de l'Opéra de Paris, le GRCOP, le Scottish Ballet, le London Festival Ballet. Il collabore aussi à divers projets cinématographiques avec Charles Atlas et danse dans Prospero's Books de Peter Greenaway (1991).

Victime d'un accident au genou, il doit interrompre sa carrière en 1995 mais revient à la danse en 1998. Résolument postmoderne, il est souvent qualifié d'artiste « queer post-punk »[1].
