Monnier, Mathilde
Mathilde Monnier occupies a place of reference in the landscape of French and international contemporary dance. From piece to piece, she thwarts expectations by presenting work in constant renewal.
Her appointment as head of the Montpellier Languedoc-Roussillon Choreographic Center in 1994 marked the beginning of a series of collaborations with personalities from various artistic fields (Jean-Luc Nancy, Katerine, Christine Angot, La Ribot, Heiner Goebbels.. .).
She created more than 50 choreographic pieces presented on major international stages like the Avignon Festival, the Théâtre de la Ville in Paris, passing through New York, Vienna, Berlin, London and receiving several prizes for her work (Ministry of Culture prize, SACD Grand Prize).
After directing the CND National Dance Center in Paris, Mathilde Monnier resumed her creative work in 2019 with several pieces like Please Please Please (2019) which she created in collaboration with La Ribot & Tiago Rodiguez, Records (2021) and her latest, Black Lights (2023).
Since 2020, Mathilde Monnier and her company have residing at the Halle Tropisme in Montpellier.

Urréa, Valérie
Back in 1987, after having completed her studies at the Ecole nationale supérieure Louis-Lumière, Valérie Urréa began asserting her passion for visual and performing arts. Documentaries, live recordings, fictions, from 'Bruit Blanc' to 'L’Homme qui Danse', all of Valerie Urréa’s films, which are principally coproduced by ARTE, explore highly-sensitive themes such as autism, masculinity and issues concerning race, through artistic visions. Her multiple award-winning films are regularly presented in international festivals. She was guest-artist twice for the Commission Image Mouvement de la Délégation des Arts Plastiques (Image/Movement Commission of the French Visual Arts Delegation). At the same time, she was a teacher for several years at the École Supérieure des Arts Visuels (ESAV - Higher Institute for Visual Arts) in Marrakech, specializing in the relationships between images and performing arts.
