Ken OSSOLA

Choregrapher

Official Website

More a calligrapher than a choreographer, Ken Ossola’s art plays with shadow and light.

His ballets sculpt the dancers bodies in an apparent fragility, tinged harmony and inner peace.

Discover here all his news, choreographies and works.

 A Vision, a Style 

Ken Ossola en pleine répétition

BROKEN, SHATTERED AND ALTERED

« His dance mingles broken, shattered and altered, which reflect his inclination to contradiction, his taste for letting go. »

Bertrand Tappolet, Le Courrier

A POSTURE, A SIGNATURE

What strikes here, is the science
of composition.

A posture.

A signature.

BEAUTY AND REFINEMENT

“The beauty and sophistication of Ken Ossola’s work, in perfect harmony with Fauré’s music, is imposing.”

Benjamin Chaix, La Tribune de Genève

More a calligrapher than a choreographer, Ken Ossola’s art plays with shadow and light.

About Ken Ossola

There are artists that find their way in the lightning speed, in the force of catching inspiration in the moment; Ken Ossola belongs to those.

Very early on, Ken Ossola discovered his ability to move with ease and grace through practicing gymnastics. At the age of 16, he was noticed and encouraged to take additional ballet classes to develop his strength as a gymnast. This led him to the realization that he wanted to become a professional dancer.
