Trained in contemporary dance (Toulouse), in directing (Manufacture, Lausanne) and visual arts (HEAD, Geneva), Maud Blandel has been developing her own choreographic pieces since 2015. Singular and physical, each of her works relies on a musical conceptual base in order to put into body and form phenomena altered by the passage of time. She has worked on the notion of sacrificed body and the mise en spectacle of the female body (TOUCH DOWN, 2015), on the folklorization of popular dance practices (Lignes de conduite, 2018), and on the act of killing time via a 17th century musical entertainment called Divertimento (Diverti Menti, 2020). In parallel to her activities she has worked as an assistant with Cindy Van Acker, Karim Bel Kacem, Heiner Goebbels and Romeo Castellucci.

Since 2016, Maud Blandel has been supported by Parallèle in production and dissemination. She has been artist-in-residence at the Arsenic - center d’art scénique contemporain de Lausanne since September 2018, associate artist at the Cndc and at Bonlieu Scène nationale Annecy.

First trained at the conservatory of Nantes, then of Lyon, Lea Vinette then trained in dance and choreography at the ArtEZ art school in the Netherlands from 2013 to 2017. After her studies, Léa worked with various choreographers (Liat Magnezy, Ido Batash, Michèle-Anne de Mey, and Rakesh Sukesh). In 2014, Léa met Florence Augendre and her work in fasciapulsology applied to dance. This practice becomes a real physical and intellectual research, and an important tool in his own creative work. In 2020, Léa follows the training in Charleroi Danse in dance and choreographic practices with in particular Mark Tompkins, Boris Charmatz, Lia Rodrigues, Nora Chipaumire. In 2021, Léa participates in the creation Lilith by Marion Blondeau as a choreographic external gaze.

Léa divides her time between her work as a performer and as a choreographer. Currently, she works as a performer with Louise Vanneste-Rising Horses (earths,METAKUST), Michèle Murray-PLAY (Duos/Collisions and Combustions,Wilder Shores), Tabea Martin (Geh nicht in den Wald, im Wald ist der Wald), Marielle Morales (M-Waves), and the company La Drache (best cantata).

Since 2020, Léa has been developing her work as a choreographer in the territories of Nantes and Brussels. She creates her first piece in November 2022, the solo Nox, at the Nantes CCN in co-production with the Soufflerie. She presented the duo Nos FEUX in March 2024 at the Cndc, where she is an associate artist, as part of the Conversations festival.

Léa combines a visceral and carnal physicality with sensitive writing. It is the raw and brutal nature of man that interests him, his sometimes bubbling energy that agitates and moves him, between emotions and reason. To express this vitality and the beauty of contrasts, she works with electric, alert, and spontaneous bodies.

Léa Vinette’s projects are supported by Météores in delegated production.
