La La La Human Steps

In 1980, Moroccan born choreographer Édouard Lock founded the troupe "Lock-Danseurs", which evolved into "La La La Human Steps". He and the company developed a reputation for a distinctively athletic, complex, boundary-pushing, fast-paced and spectacular style of dance and other movements. For years, Canadian contemporary dance icon Louise Lecavalier was the troupe's featured performer and Lock's muse. She starred, for instance, in his 1985 work "Human Sex", which launched the company's fame internationally. Over the ears La La La Human Steps has collaborated with rock musicians, including David Bowie, David Lang, Frank Zappa, Skinny Puppy, Stephen Luscombe, Pandit Dinesh, Asha Bhosle, Einstürzende Neubauten, Kevin Shields, David Van Tieghem, Carole Laure, Priya Khajuria, Michel Cusson and Alain Bertrand. On 2 September 2015 Édouard Lock announced that the company had been disbanded owing to insurmountable financial difficulties.
