MICHEL GASCARD
ETOILE BEJART BALLET
Former director Rudra Béjart Ballet School
A career of 47 consecutive years, almost entirely dedicated to the Maurice Béjart’s work.
Today, as a freelance artist, he occasionally teaches masterclasses and workshops for professionals or high level dancers.
His youthful spirit and great physical fitness allow him to pass on his experience as a student, a dancer, a ballet master and a director.
As an independent artist, he teaches classical dance master-classes and workshops all over the world.
For more than 20 years, as a soloist, he served Maurice Béjart and his work, interpreting more than fifty different roles.
For 29 years, Michel Gascard trained more than 550 young dancers, the vast majority of whom still shine in the artistic world today as dancers, choreographers and company directors.
Dedicated to the idea that different cultural backgrounds provide a richer environment for both students and teachers, he organized international auditions that help bring over 30 unique nationalities to the Béjart’s school.
As a result, three decades before bringing diversity to classical ballet became a front stage subject, Michel Gascard already mentored dancers from all over the world into those roles.
PASSION, CONVICTION AND LOYALTY …
Since his professional debut at the age of 16, this gifted youngster already knew that dancing requires a complete dedication to the art. He learned to discover its infinite depth and the amount of work required for the acquisition of technique. While developing his own pedagogy he thrives to remain open minded and tirelessly keeps learning.
“My Master Maurice Béjart taught me everything: to live, to love, to be tolerant, curious and respectful of others.
I then became aware of the lifestyle, the morals and the intellectual qualities that this requires.
His charisma and his influence made me want to constantly surpass myself. He gave me the desire to read, to watch, to listen, to walk, to travel. With him, I learned to live in a state of permanent excitement, discovery and joy.
Because dance, in its complexity and its difficulty, must remain a luminous asceticism.
My mission has always been to transmit the unique experience of my dancing career with passion, conviction and loyalty ».
He offers with passion, conviction and loyalty the transmission of his unique experience in the dance world.
If the dancing man is renowned for his professional integrity and his Béjartien loyalty, far from any search for power or celebrity, many are surprised to discover that little Michel wanted more than anything, from a very young age, to become an oceanographer. …. to work with Commander Cousteau!
He accompanies his mother Colette Milner to all the dance classes she teaches at the La Rochelle Conservatory in France but remains seated under the piano dreaming of the ocean and observing danse carefully until he knows all the exercises by heart. It was at age 11 that he finally got up and asked to learn the exam variation to follow Philippe Giraudeau, his lifelong friend, also his mother’s student.
The following will arrive like a traced road:
Winner of the 1973 first Prix de Lausanne, he decides to join the three years long program given at Maurice Béjart’s school in Belgium.
After only one year in school, he is hired straight into the company “Ballet du XXième siècle”.
We are in 1974 and he is only 17 years old.
In 1989, he danced for the first time in front of Commander Cousteau a Maurice Béjart’s ballet “1789 et nous” at the Grand Palais in Paris for the bicentenary of the French Revolution.
As an experienced diver who has explored all the oceans, he never stopped developing his body and mind through sport (swimming, skiing, high mountain hiking, etc.)
The physical resistance and the fulfillment that he has thus developed inspire Maurice Béjart who creates for him long solos and roles that hold the stage throughout the show.
Like his maternal grandmother, concert pianist and student of Igor Stravinsky, Ravel & Berlioz at the Schola Cantorum in Paris, he is gifted with a great musical sense; Maurice Béjart readily calls him his “most musical firebird”.
In a radio interview on November 7, 1983, Maurice Béjart said: “Colette Milner is a great teacher who gave us great students; the most important of which is our soloist Michel Gascard, a fascinating dancer, … Colette Milner is right to be proud of her son, he is an extraordinary dancer, someone who combines many things rarely found in a single dancer: technique, freedom, musicality, sensitivity, creativity. He’s a very, very unique individual.
Maurice Béjart also uses Michel’s classical tenor voice work to make him sing in “The triumphs of Pertrarque”, “The imaginary Molière”, “The ring”, “Acqua alta”, ….
Nino Rota composed a song for him in “Le Molière imaginaire”, he worked with Manos Hadjidakis, Mikis Teodorakis, Luciano Berio.
He was surrounded, from an early age, with the great artists of his time:
Pas-de-deux with Jorge Donn at just 18 in December 1974,
Directed by Robert Hirsch of the Comédie Française,
The great fashion designer Gianni Versace sews for him the red pants for the role of Dionysus, … and creates the costumes for one of his personal choreographic creations for a show in Milan.
GINET MONCHO

She graduated with the Golden Title and the title of Most Integral Student.
She has participated in numerous events, including the Ibero-American Ballet Gala in Colombia, as well as festivals and tours. In 2002, she joined the National Ballet of Cuba, where she performed in the entire traditional romantic-classical repertoire, as well as more contemporary and neoclassical works.
She has portrayed the leading roles in major classics such as Swan Lake, Don Quixote, Giselle, Sleeping Beauty, Cinderella, The Magic Flute, among others. Ginet has collaborated with renowned Cuban and foreign choreographers, including Alicia Alonso, Alberto Méndez, Ivan Tenorio, Julio Bocca, Gonzalo Galguera, El Pipa, Ricardo Amarante, Anabelle Lopez-Ochoa, James Kelly, among others.
In 2016, she was invited by Altankhuyag Dugaraa to join the National Company of Mongolia. Ginet has performed on all five continents with the National Ballet of Cuba, earning acclaim as a performer in various international galas.
