Eric Gauthier ist Vater – Herzlichen Glückwunsch

Eric und Laura Gauthier sind Eltern! Laura_und_Eric_Gauthier-1-klein Noch mal auf diesem Weg von der gesamten Theaterhausbelegschaft alles Gute für die kleine Familie!
Carlos Gaston kam am 3. September um 17:27 Uhr zur Welt und hält seine Eltern mächtig auf Trab.

Als mir heute Eric auf dem Parkplatz begegnete erzählte mir der junge Vater, Leiter von Gauthier Dance, Tänzer, Songwriter und Bandleader von seinem Glück mit dem Kleinen, den schlaflosen Nächten und den trotzdem mit Arbeit voll gepackten Tagen. Er hat viel zu tun: Nachts nicht schlafen und tagsüber schon alles für die kommende Tanzgala mit Gauthier Dance in Dortmund vorbereiten, über die wir auch berichten werden.
Auf jeden Fall sind alle schon gespannt wann Carlos mit auf Tour geht!

25 years.. and 25 more to go!!!

Well here we are,

today is great day.. my wonderfull theater is celebrating 25 years of hard work!!!

Its been only three years since the birth of Gauthier Dance, but it seems and feels like we have been here all along!!! The magic of this house is the family feeling.. after travelling lots and discovering how other theaters function, I know that here is really something special! That is why I put my hands in the air and scream GEILE TH, Happy Bday!!!!

Talking about the celebration, I am shure it will be one to remember… So many great artists coming together on one stage, in one theater, on one evening!! Gauthier Dance will present the sofa and one very very new choreography, created pretty much just for tonight… Bollywood Ballerina Ballerinosis the title and you can guess the direction we are going in.. Bollywood!!! It should be loads of fun, the dancers have cool costumes and as a special guest we have the legend Egon Madsen with us onstage in the main part!!

In other news, we are off to Houston, Tex.. to perform in the world famous dance festival The Dance Salad. GD will be performing ‘Orchestra of Wolves’, taken from the last production M.M. and more. Its been just such a great year with the touring for GD but I have to be honest, nothing beat going to America!!! We know that its 25 degrees outside there, but 5 degrees inside since they always have the air conditioning on way too high!!! Better hope GD does not come back with a cold… since the works goes on right away after our return with a Gauthier Dance Special show and the big Gala, in the beginning of April!!!

Whats new with us… Isabelle is looking alot like a hippie these days, William has more and more young girly fans around him after shows, Gara is exited about Houston, Marianne is planning some costume designs for my ballet in Nordhausen, Armando’s Noah is looking more and more like a little man.. Giuseppe is getting ready for spring and summer, Maria just had a big teeth operation but she is doing fine.. still smiling, Bjorn is keeping busy travelling, Renato is just lovely, Aglaya is so very busy with the gala organisation.. and Vivian is, in my opinion.. great great great!!!

As you can see things are well here at GD… and we all wish the Theaterhaus

Aalen, Brawnscheig, Munich and to top it all off, Houston Texas, America… how great is that, that GD is spreading their art and love of dance to all these different people in all those different places!!!!

I, actually only had one week free… took off to the mountains of Austria for a little wellness.. sauna, dampfbad, going to bed early and finally spending time with the greatest woman in my world, my wife Laura!!! My second holiday week has been busy preparing Don Q with Egon Madsen.. we will be hitting the stage this friday and Sat in the Theaterhaus!!! Actually in our off time putting Don Q together, I have been also creating a new pas de deux for Egon and I..

HOME SWEET HOME

So here we go… Blog number 4,

As I write this, I am sitting at my desk, in my buro.. and it just feels like I haven’t been here in months!!!

My desk is is full to the top with: Mobil request(If we said yes to them all, mobil could be a full time job, which could be very nice)… we had today in Waiblingen one of the greatest mobil ever.. 200 kids in the middle of puberty sitting QUIET and just watching dance.. no really, they where all quiet… even the leiter of the school could’t believe it!!!

We are dancing in Waiblingen tomorrow.. in the Burgerzentrum! Its really a best of show… Ballet 101, Monologue, Bjork duets, Wolves, Air guitar and the majestic Susto… what the public doesn’t know is that I just decided today to throw in les Bourgeois… hopefully this will be a nice surprise!!!

Things are keeping busy for Gauthier Dance, Gd will be performing in a ‘Best of BW’ show in the messe Stuttgart for all the mitarbeiter from the Sparkasse.. I have even heard that Fr. Merkel will be there… wouldn’t that be nice if GD could make her smile!!!!

The company is well… Isabelle, William and Giuseppe are starting to work on a new pas de trois with me on Monday… this will be premiered in the Gauthier Dance Special the 8th of April and also be presented in the ‘gauthier and friends Gala’ the 10th April!!! About my gala.. I now know that Bern, Regensburg, Ausburg, Dresden Ballett and many others(Egon Madsen) will be on stage that night to support my conquest to raise 10 000euro to help the research for Alzheimer’s!

Garazi has made her hair very very RED! William is still happy in Bad Cannstatt, Marianne is shooting a movie for the Aka in Ludwisgburg, Giuseppe is singing non stop, Isabelle is looking very french lately(just missing the beret), Bjorn finally has a kuche, Armando and Lisa’s Noah is almost talking( I heard him last week when Lisa picked up Armando at the Banhof… and I could swear he said ERIC.. but maybe he just said EeeeWwwwiiiisssss and just asking for milk!!!) Maria Is smiling… smiling… !!!! Renato is also well… enjoying the trips with GD!!!!

This is it… got to go, its Werner(my boss)birthday!!!!

A new premiere… here we go again!!!

This is my first TH blog…

and this one is in english but it could very well be that the next ones will be in schwäbisch…

Lots is going on… GD was in Luxembourg the last 3 weeks preparing for our new premiere MM and More!! It was a wonderfull time, a relaxing time, even if it was raining most days(felt a little like being in London). The premiere went very well in Lux.. even if we knew that the public is a tough one… they actually were yelling ‘Bravo’ and ’stamping their feet’ (alot like our beloved public in Stutti).

Now tomorrow will be another story… we will test the waters with the new production!!! People have been asking me if I am nervous… and I always said ‘NO’, but in my little blog… I can tell you that I kind of am, nervous… But I have a gut feeling… the show are well sold already and I think we are ready for anything. For the ones who have bought tickets.. thanks for the support… GD lives and dances for you…

Last but not least…ISABELLE IS BACK… Great news… our little french beauty is back back back after breaking her wrist one month ago during a GD performance… we are so very happy to say her first show back will be in the premiere tomorrow!!!!!

This is it… this was my first blog… hope to see ya next week… lots of luv… yours truly, Eric G
