挪威编舞家肯尼斯·弗拉克用瑜伽和武术开始他的舞蹈训练。他还曾在挪威国立戏剧学院学习哲学和艺术。之后他定居荷兰并在阿姆斯特丹艺术学院开始了默剧和现代剧院舞蹈的学习。
He has performed in choreographies by Keren Levi, Blok & Steel en André Gingras (CYP17, The Lindenmeyer System, Hypertopia and trans.form) and others. In 2004, he was invited to be artist in residence by the Attakalari Centre of Movement Arts in Bangalore, India.
他曾演绎过Keren Levi, Blok & Steel和安德列•金格拉斯(《CYP17》《林登梅耶体制》《骇托邦》《变革》)等多位编舞大师的作品。2004年,他还受到印度班加罗尔Attakalari中心舞蹈艺术部的邀请成为了当地的驻地艺术家。
In September 2007, he was richly rewarded for his dance achievement in Gingras' solo CYP17 with the prestigious Bessie Award (N.Y.); first awarded to a “Dutch” performer. For a primal, yet hyper-clinical performance with an unflinching intensity of focus; a complete embodiment of man as a twitching, convulsing lab rat in a future world shaped by genetic engineering and alien abductions in CYP17 by Andre Gingras, presented at the Danspace Project.’ (from the jury report Bessie Awards 2007).
2007年9月,他因在金格拉斯的独舞《CYP17》中的出色表现而获得了极具声望的纽约舞蹈及表演奖,他也是获得该奖的第一位“荷兰”舞蹈家。在Danspace项目中上演的由安德列•金格拉斯编导的《CYP17》是一场原始而超现实的演出,舞台上焦点凝聚,充分刻画出了在由基因工程与外星人绑架而组成的未来世界中一个男人颤栗扭曲如实验鼠般的情态。(2007年纽约舞蹈及表演奖评审评论)
Choreographer André Gingras and dancer Kenneth Flak were invited earlier that year to perform CYP17 at the famous Baryshnikov Arts Centre in New York; at the end of the performance they received a standing ovation by the famous Mikhail Baryshnikov himself. They returned to New York for a number of performances at the Dancespace Project. As happened elsewhere, the New York press was full of praise for this Dutch production: ‘It’s not often that a dance lives up to its ambitious program notes (‘the freak show of the future’), but Mr. Gingras has created a bizarre, funny, often disturbing piece that does just that, and he does it mostly through movement. Here is a world that couldn’t be evoked by anything other than the physical detail of Mr. Flak’s extraordinary dance.’ (New York Times 5 May 2007)
编导安德列•金格拉和舞者肯尼斯·弗拉克在07年初曾被邀请在纽约Baryshnikov艺术中心表演舞剧《CYP17》,在演出结束时,米 凯亚·巴瑞辛尼科夫甚至起立鼓掌,流露出对这出舞剧的无限欣赏之情。之后,他们回到了纽约并在Danspace项目中多次表演了这出广受好评的舞剧。纽约媒体对这个来自荷兰的“组合”也同样极尽了溢美之词。“金格拉创作的这出怪异,有趣,令人毛骨悚然的舞剧完全凭借舞者的肢体就淋漓尽致地表达出了他的执导意图(以怪物视角呈现未来世界),这是十分难得的。在这出舞剧所缔造的虚幻世界中,只有弗拉克绝美的肢体语言才能够唤醒万物”(纽约时报,2007年5月)
At the 2008 CaDance festival Kenneth Flak presented his latest Korzo Production Of Gods and Driftwood which is based on the legends of the Norse gods. Of Gods and Driftwood will tour around theatres in the Netherlands 'till April 2010.
