Artists
Julie Nioche is a dancer and choreographer. A graduate of the CNSMD - Conservatoire National Supérieur de Musique et de Danse de Paris in 1996, she has worked as a performer with Odile Duboc, Hervé Robbe, Meg Stuart, Alain Michard, Catherine Contour, Emmanuelle Huynh, Alain Buffard and Jennifer Lacey. From 1996 to 2007, she co-directed the Fin novembre association with Rachid Ouramdane, within which she participated in joint projects and initiated her own. In 2007, she founded A.I.M.E. - Association d'Individus en Mouvements Engagés - with a team of researchers-teachers, associative actors and body practitioners. The aim of the association is to create the choreographer's works and to develop a "citizen's art" based on disseminating dance and dance-related knowledge, particularly somatic practices, in society. Julie Nioche is an artist at the crossroads of several fields: contemporary creation, healthcare and research. She questions the territories of dance and the transfer of its know-how to other contexts. She uses dance as a research tool to make her sensibility and imagination visible. Each creation is a project of experimentation, paying particular attention to the process, the path leading to realization. The pieces are questions posed, offering space for debate and exchange. Dance as a meeting place.
