Who was Camille Claudel, this exceptional French sculptor who inspired many generations? Through her history, presented by Karine Favre-Massartic, we will invite the public to discover her sources of inspirations and what made her the most talented artist of her time and a committed woman. Dominic Walsh will share with the audience how the life and the work of Camille Claudel inspired his work as a choreographer within the frame of his world premiere performance of “The life of Camille Claudel”, presented at the Zilkha Hall of the Hobby Center for the Performing Arts, on May 3, 4 and 5, 2012.
A debate will follow with the public that will be encouraged to exchange with the guests present: Daniel Cohen (Associate professor of History at Rice University), Charlotte Esnou (Deputy Cultural Attache at the French Consulate of Houston), Karine Favre-Massartic (Photographer), Karine Parker-Lemoyne (Executive Director at Texan-French Alliance for the Arts), Dominic Walsh (Artistic director and founder of Dominic Walsh Dance Theater).

life and arts.
