Sandrine Maisonneuve
Sandrine Maisonneuve, born in 1972, is a graduate of the National Conservatory of Music and Dance of Lyon and of the State Diploma for teaching dance. She has been a performer since 1992 for Andy Degroat, Christiane Blaise, Abou Lagraa, Yann Lheureux, Mohamed Shaffik, Chistophe Haleb, Olivier Dubois, Chistian Ubl and has worked closely with Toméo Verges since 2006. She became in 2020, assistant to Jérémy Tran for his choreographic creation What we have left, interpreted by the dancers of the Grand Théâtre de Genève and presented at the Bâtiment des Forces Motrices in Geneva in June 2020.
In parallel, she trained in 2000 with the performer Julyen Hamilton in instant composition. She integrates this process of thinking and writing in real time into all of her artistic research fields. She teaches it since 2005 in Tunis, in Algiers, in Cairo within the Cairo Contemporary Dance program (Studio Emad Eddin), at the National Superior Music Conservatory (Lyon, Paris), at the National Dance Center (Paris, Lyon) , at Place de la Danse in Toulouse, as well as in schools and amateurs.
As a choreographer, she has created a few pieces in France and is now developing her own creative process around instant composition in performance. At the CNSMD in Lyon (2010), she created a piece for the young ballet and then in a project supported by the European Commission (2011, Raqs el tayer), a piece for 11 Egyptian dancers. His latest project Echo is a plastic body, was the subject of a territorial residency with the Rencontres chorégraphiques Internationales de Seine St Denis (2013 and 2014).
In 2014, she was invited artist for two years at L’Usine CNAR in Toulouse for a territorial project. She is currently leading a Local Contract for Artistic Education over two years with the CDC Briqueterie du Val de Marne. It explores the theme of the Family from the link, the question of transmission but also the concept of intimate territory.
In her projects she combines pedagogy and artistic creation, giving importance to the practice which she defends as an aesthetic experience and as a tool for personal development.
