Cédric Préhaut

Artistic director of the company Accord des nous

Choreographer / Dancer / Musical composer

Professor of Physical Education

This multi-sportsman began dancing during his studies in STAPS. He kept the body shapes of his past as a judoka to transcribe them into dance, moving from martial art to choreography. Always in search of perfection, he obtained the DEC Jazz and validated the EAT contemporary. Although he has had a number of experiences as a dancer-performer, it is as a choreographer that he has turned. Meeting Marilèn Iglésias-Breuker, Dominique Dupuy and Philippe Ducou influenced his approach to dance.

A holder of the Agrégation d’EPS and the Arts-Danse complementary certification, he continues to reflect on the body, motricity, choreographic composition and pedagogy. He is writing a dissertation on ‘computer tools for the artistic’ and has published a number of articles on dance: the relationship to well-being, bodily experiences and the ‘sensitive body’, and the process of artistic creation. He is a member of the CMN Danse chorégraphiée (Commission Mixte Nationale de l’UNSS), where he is developing a tool to help young people better understand choreography. This has led him to take part in training courses for young people and adults. He is a jury member for the Baccalauréat Art-Danse exams and for the Fédération Française de Danse.

As a composer for the company’s various projects, he is keen to explore the relationship between music and movement. He has honed his MAO skills with certified Ableton instructors (Saw Up, Dopper FX) to accompany the performers live.

Within the company, he gives free rein to his desire to create both choreography and music.
