The full event will be live-streamed <a href=\"https:\/\/www.arte.tv\/en\/videos\/130501-011-A\/finals\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener nofollow\">here<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Sylvie Guillem began her career driven by athletic prowess, but it was theatre that made her a legend. Born in Paris, she trained as a gymnast before joining the Paris Opera Ballet School at 11, where her exceptional physique and intelligence quickly stood out. At 16, she entered the company, rising rapidly through the ranks. When Rudolf Nureyev became director, he championed her talent, naming her \u00c9toile at just 19 after her debut in Swan Lake.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">In the following years, she became a muse for leading choreographers \u2014 Forsythe, B\u00e9jart, Neumeier, Robbins, MacMillan, and Ek \u2014 creating defining roles across classical and modern repertoires. In 1988, seeking more artistic freedom, she left the Paris Opera Ballet and joined The Royal Ballet in London, performing both classics and bold contemporary works.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Guillem\u2019s collaborations extended globally, from the Kirov Ballet to American Ballet Theatre, with B\u00e9jart, Ek, and others creating major works for her. Later, she focused on contemporary projects such as Broken Fall, Push, Sacred Monsters (with Akram Khan), and Eonnagata (with Maliphant and Lepage), touring internationally. Her 2011 programme 6000 Miles Away honored Forsythe, Ek, and Kyli\u00e1n.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Celebrated worldwide, Guillem has received the Golden Lion for Lifetime Achievement (2012), a special Olivier Award (2015), and the Praemium Imperiale (2015), among many French and British honours. One of the most influential dancers of her generation, she remains a defining figure in the evolution of modern dance.<\/p>\n<p class=\"copy\">\u00a9 All rights reserved<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"News Prix de Lausanne Lifetime Achievement Award 2026 to Sylvie Guillem The ceremony on Saturday, 7 February 2026,&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":27803,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[9],"tags":[8175,8177,99,8181,8182,8176,8185,8180,8184,8183,8179,8178,94],"class_list":{"0":"post-27802","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-lausanne","8":"tag-ballet","9":"tag-contemporary-dance","10":"tag-dance","11":"tag-dance-advertising","12":"tag-dance-audition","13":"tag-dance-critic","14":"tag-dance-journalism","15":"tag-dance-magazine","16":"tag-dance-news","17":"tag-dance-review","18":"tag-dance-world","19":"tag-italian-dance","20":"tag-lausanne"},"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/pubeurope.com\/@ch\/116195839416878292","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ch\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/27802","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ch\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ch\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ch\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ch\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=27802"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ch\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/27802\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ch\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/27803"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ch\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=27802"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ch\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=27802"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ch\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=27802"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
