Lebrun was born in France, where
he began her ballet studies at
the perstigious Ballet du
Nord. He later completed
his training at the School
of American Ballet in New
York, even being selected by
Jerome Robbins for one of his
productions.
Throughout
his career he has worked in
a number of top European dance
companies such as the Ballet
du Rhin, the Deutsche
Staatsoper and the Ballet
de l’Opéra de Nice, as
a soloist. Over this period
he attracted critical attention
performing the work of choreographers
such as Maurice Béjart,
Carolyn Carlson, Nils Christe,
Maryse Delente, Balanchine and
José Limón among
others.
In the year 2000
he joined the Compañía
Nacional de Danza, performing
in numerous pieces choreographed
by Nacho Duato, as well as
other internationally renowned
choreographers such as Jirí Kylián,
Ohad Naharin, William Forsythe,
Jacopo Godani, Örjan Andersson
and Mats Ek.
It was during
his period at the Ballet
de l’Opéra de
Nice that he began to
become seriously interested
in moving over to the role
of choreographer himself. Inspiration was
his first major piece, one
which incidentally is still
part of the Company's repertoire.
In
2002 he won his first choreography
award at the Certamen
Internacional de Burgos, festival
for his piece entitled Kenmey.

the Teatro de la Zarzuela in
