Biography

Born in Algiers on 12 May 1946, Atlani grew up in a Jewish family that had been deported during World War II. She trained with choreographer Irène Popard and developed a strong, rebellious spirit and a feminist identity.[2] During childhood, she trained in music and dance in France and the United States, particularly learning to play the piano.[3]

In 1967, Atlani founded her own dance company, Les Ballets de la Cité.[2] In 1969, she won a prize at the Шаблон:Ill and began participating in various tours and workshops across France.[4] In 1971, she won a prize at the Ballet pour demain competition for her creation Prière de l’homme qui danse.[2] In 1976, Les Ballets de la Cité settled in Le Grand-Quevilly, then in Darnétal. The company choreographed approximately 50 new dances and organized workshops and training for professional dancers.

In 1985, Atlani moved to Paris to present her latest creation at the Шаблон:Ill, of which she became co-director with Marie Pierre de Porta the following year. In 1996, the two founded the cabaret Le Loup du Faubourg and devoted themselves to French songs.[3] She became a composer of piano music and began touring with artists in 2006 and taught vocal dance and fundamental singing techniques.[3] In 2014, she returned to the dancing stage with Voyage mémoire, an original creation.[3]

In 2008, Atlani composed her "Polyvoix" polyphonic music for string instruments and vocals. In 2011, she founded the choir ensemble Chœur Alpha.[5] In 2012, she released the album Nos mémoires d’or.
