Julia Cima

A dancer for Odile Duboc, Myriam Gourfink, Benoît Lachambre, Laure Bonicel, Élisabeth Schwartz, Gilles Touyard, Alain Michard and Mathilde Monnier, Julia Cima has worked with Boris Charmatz at the Association Edna for eleven years. In 2005, she choreographed “Visitations” and in 2007, the author and stage director Gildas Milin engaged her as an actress for his piece “Machine sans cible” (Machine without a target).

During this acting job, she signed up with Denis Lavant for “Brut de lettres” (Gross letters), for the Sujet à Vif at the Festival d’Avignon 2008.

Guy Walter, director of Les Subsistances in Lyon, engaged her for the “Ça valse!” (Let’s waltz) festival (October 2008), a short work performed to the music of the famous Viennese waltzes, resulting in “Je suis enchantée” (I am magic), a duet with the actor Marc Arnaud and with the participation of the author Olivia Rosenthal.

Julia Cima continued to work on her new programme of solo works, “Dance Hors-Cadre” (Dance beyond the scope) (2009), and “POEM”, a duet with a Korean dancer (2010). Since 2010 she has also taught movement at the école du Théâtre National de Bretagne (National Theatre School of Brittany).
