CLARISSE ROUD
Founded in 2018, Clarisse ROUD Works is a platform created to produce and expend Clarisse Roud's artistry. Her work brings together a team of international highly talented artists from different art backgrounds, to commit to an intimate, thoughtful as well as reflective journey to portray universal and evocative works. The experimentation in textures and quality of movement characterised Clarisse's choreographic voice,. She displays meaningful works inspired by symbolism, alloying strength with grace and engages audiences with narrative gestures and a bold, expressive physicality.
Clarisse is dedicated to sharing a unique, inspiring and genuine experience with her artistic team, her collaborators and audiences, offering a chance to link us all, immersing into a space of potential to create momentum for a precious journey.

"Odyssey by Clarisse Roud was a breathtaking display of feminine power. Beautifully articulate movement, weighted and smooth flowing dynamics peppered with moments of tenderness performed by a cast of accomplished dancers."
Nina Atkinson - Artistic Director of the Loop Dance Company.
"Odyssey was one of substantial emotional investment and thorough commitment by all involved. Such a strong and clear telling of the journey of grief and all its components. Everyone, from Clarisse, through to the dancers and musicians carried themselves with such conviction and commitment. The musical accompaniment was so beautifully chosen, complimenting the piece and its inhabitants elegantly and so very sensitively throughout. Such thoughtful, rich, evocative and intelligent choreography. It’s obvious that Clarisse cares deeply for her work. A beautiful talent and I, for one felt very fortunate to experience Odyssey earlier this year here in London."
Simone Sault - International Freelancer Coach, Creative and Choreographer.
