Born in France Philippe Blanchard begins his studies in Music and dance at “Le conservatoire national de La Rochelle” where he spends most of his studies. After three years studying music he decide to concentrate all his efforts into dance with Colette Milner head teacher of the school. Seven years past when he joined as a dancer the company Nederlands dans teater directed by Jiri Kylian before working with the Geneva Ballet for a short time.

In 1991 Philippe respond to the invitation from Ohad Naharin to join his company in Israel (Batsheva dance company) where the experience and the meeting with Naharin will turn out to be an essential part of Philippe’s career as a dancer. Working under improvisations, theatrical approaches and the self-development as a dancer, Philippe reached total different way of experiencing and working in contemporary dance. The artistic implication does not stop as an interpretation of the work but as a participation of a creative process.
The following year Philippe will move to the Cullberg ballet to work with Mats Ek. It is from that point on that he slowly begins to investigate on his own ideas and eventually to start is first collective work.

1996 Philippe has been selected to participate at a summer course in UK orientated for choreographers and composers under the direction of Lloyd Newsson. Another important encounter that would encourage Philippe to work further on his personal work.
After the success of the work AIRBAG and few experiences working in different companies as a choreographer, he decide to form his own structure, which would be based in Stockholm.

NOODLES was created during that period and was acclaimed by the audience and the critics. During three years NOODLES was toured all over Europe and in Israel.

Today he still works with the same structure in Sweden where the last performance HOW ABOUT YOU? is being invited to several international platforms and on tour.
