Mylène Benoit

At the Royal Academy of Arts in London and later at Le Fresnoy – National Studio for Contemporary Arts, Mylène Benoit came to understand that while art reflects on form, it is also a vehicle for aesthetic, historical, and political legacies. Very quickly, she began to involve the body in plural research combining dance, song, sound matter, luminous vibration, and textual elements. Committed and powerful, her original creations privilege women’s perspectives and seek to bring to light entire dimensions of living knowledge that have long been silenced.

The company’s repertoire includes around fifteen works, among them Archée, created at the Cloître des Célestins for the Avignon Festival in 2021. Mylène Benoit was associate artist at Le Vivat, a subsidised dance and theatre stage in Armentières, from September 2011 to June 2014. She curated Danses Augmentées at the Gaîté Lyrique in Paris, was associate artist at Le Phare – CCN du Havre Normandie, in long-term residency at L’Échangeur / CDCN Hauts-de-France, a member of the Ensemble Associé at Théâtre des 13 vents CDN Montpellier, and associate artist at Théâtre du Beauvaisis, scène nationale in Beauvais. She was awarded the Villa Kujoyama residency in 2017. Most recently, she was associate artist with the Grand Ensemble des Quinconces & L’Espal, scène nationale of Le Mans, until 2023.
