Diavolo | Architecture in Motion (simply known as Diavolo) is an American dance company founded by Jacques Heim in 1992. The company's movement style encompasses modern dance, acrobatics, and gymnastics. Diavolo has been based in Los Angeles ever since its founding, and has toured across the United States as well as Europe, Asia, and Latin America. ==The company== Upon completion of his MFA (Dance and Choreography) at the California Institute of the Arts, Jacques Heim started Diavolo | Architecture in Motion, which performs acrobatic and modern dance movement set on a variety of oversized structures. These oversized architectural structures serve as a backdrop to the dramatic movement that create metaphors for humanity's everyday struggles—relationships, the absurdity of life, and the attempt to maintain our humanity in an increasingly technological world. Alongside his position as Artistic Director of Diavolo, Heim was hired in 2005 by Cirque du Soleil to choreograph a show in Las Vegas called Kà. Heim has also choreographed for television shows, movies, as well as special events worldwide. On television, his work appeared on BBC America's Dancing with the Stars (U.S. TV series),〔Brett Love, ("Dancing with the Stars: Week Two Results" ) ''HuffPost TV'', 03/25/08.〕 as well as Bravo's Step It Up and Dance.〔http://www.imdb.com/name/nm3045034/ Jacques Heim IMDB Page.〕 However, most of Heim's time is spent choreographing for and touring with Diavolo. The company's repertoire presents dance that is redefined "through dynamic movement, enlightening communities through trust, teamwork, and individual expression" as articulated in the company's mission statement.〔http://www.diavolo.org "Who We Are: Diavolo Aesthetic."〕 Beginning with ''Bonjour/Sleepwalking'', which was choreographed in 1992, Heim has created and continues to create pieces that epitomize the Diavolo aesthetic emphasized in the mission statement. Diavolo made its European debut at the Edinburgh Festival Fringe in 1995, and in 1998, the company opened the performance series at the new Getty Center Museum in Los Angeles. Diavolo's first full-evening length work, ''Catapult'', was created in 1999, which was also the year of the first full North American tour for the company. In spring 2002, Diavolo created a second smaller company to perform in a cabaret-style show, which ran for eight weeks at the New Shinagawa Prince Hotel in Tokyo, Japan. Diavolo recently collaborated with the Los Angeles Philharmonic to create a trilogy of dance works performed at the Hollywood Bowl. In 2007, ''Foreign Bodies'' premiered, set to the music of Esa-Pekka Salonen, followed by ''Fearful Symmetries'' in 2010, set to the music of John Adams. In 2013, ''Fluid Infinities'', set to the music of Philip Glass, completed the trilogy on the Hollywood Bowl stage.〔http://www.diavolo.org/ "Who We Are: About Diavolo."〕 Diavolo also engages in community work and educational outreach, which includes holding classes, workshops, and seminars for children and adults. Many of the workshops are regularly held at schools, hospitals, and juvenile detention centers. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Diavolo Dance Theater」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
