Under the diva name of La Ribot, she has created award winning dance pieces that exist at the intersection of contemporary dance, live art, performance and video.
In the last decade, La Ribot has created an exacting yet humorous vocabulary of geometric concentration through her renowned dance series 'distinguished pieces'.
La Ribots work constitutes a system that allows her to research, develop, and question the temporal, spatial and conceptual limits of dance as it relates to the overlapping fields of live art, performance and visual art.
Born in Saint-Omer on 7 February 1842, Ribot studied law at university and thereafter took employment in legal affairs until his eventual appointment as director of Criminal Affairs at the Ministry of Justice.
Appointed Minister of Foreign Affairs for two years from 1890-92, Ribot was instrumental in fostering the closer relations with Russia that culminated into a formal alliance in August 1892.
Ribot served a brief first term as Prime Minister lasting four months from 6 December 1892, and which fell in the wake of the Panama Canal scandal.
