Joachim Maudet

Originally from Brittany, Joachim Maudet trained at the Conservatoire National Supérieur de Musique et de Danse de Paris (CNSMDP) from 2007 to 2012. At the same time as his training, he studied at the University of Paris VIII for a degree in theatrical performance art, followed by a degree in choreographic performance art, which he obtained in 2010.

He began his career as a performer before completing his training, working with Tatiana Julien on La Mort et l’Extase and with Arthur Perole on Divine Hérésie.

Enriched by his training and keen to discover other horizons, he went abroad, where he danced for the Akram Khan Dance Company (UK), the Noord Nederlandse Dans (Holland) and the National Dance Company Wales (UK).

He returned to France in May 2013 and began collaborating with a number of choreographers, including Samuel Faccioli and Bérengère Fournier (La Vouivre) on the young audience project La Belle et Feu , Christian Ubl (Cie CUBe) on the project Shake It Out, Léa Tirabasso on the project The Ephemeral Life of an Octopus, Arthur Perole on the projects Rock’n Chair, Ballroom and the BBB, Léonard Rainis and Katell Hartereau (Le pôle) on Every Little Movement, Dance with dinosaurs, The perfect moment, The WALL and Ambra Senatore on Partita. He is also assistant and external viewer on the projects Scappare by Mathilde Bonicel and Magdalena by Chloé Zamboni.

Alongside his career as a performer, Joachim Maudet created the company les vagues in 2017 out of a desire to work on the relationship and dissociation of body and voice. His first piece, ˈstɔːriz saw the light of day in 2019. He then created the solo GIGI in 2021 and the trio WELCOME in 2022. He created KID#1 in January 2024 at KLAP – Marseille.
