Contour progressif

The company Contour progressif was founded in 2004 by Mylène Benoit, visual artist and choreographer. Her creative approach is based on a choral writing, which mixes dance, song, sound material, light vibration, optical or textual elements. The company has a dozen works in the repertoire, including 4 premieres in 2018 with a Sujet à Vif at the Avignon Festival designed with puppeteer Julika Mayer. The next creation, Archée, will be premiered in July 2021 at the Avignon Festival. The work of the company Contour progressif is innervated by an artistic and political commitment that expresses itself beyond the “spectacular” device. It is a collaborative and protean project, which is updated in artistic productions as much as through the active presence of artistic collaborators in different territories (meetings with the public and practical internships, conferences, creations with amateurs, companionship in high schools , research, technological watch and pooling of creative tools). Mylène Benoit was an associate artist at LePhare – CCN du Havre Normandie until December 2018, in long residency at l’Echangeur / CDCN Hauts-de-France from 2016 to 2018. She was a laureate of the Villa Kujoyama in 2017. She is an associate artist at the Théâtre du Beauvaisis, national stage, and at the national stage of Le Mans, Les Quinconces / L’Espal. The Progressive Contour Company is approved by the Drac Hauts-de-France, and supported by the Hauts-de-France Regional Council as aid for the program of activities.
