Agnès Butet is a multidisciplinary choreographer who explores the links between dance, performance and transmission. She works mainly in the field of contemporary dance and somatic methods. She is also a regular practitioner of Wudang Qi Gong, Argentine tango and other ballroom dances.
She explores perceptual phenomena and is keenly interested in the body as a relational issue and a subject for thought. Her liminal performances question stereotypes, social injunctions and societal upheavals.
She often collaborates with other artists, including Bernard Tran (multimedia artist), and with choreographer Gaëlle Bourges, performing in To my sole desire, 59, Warding off fear, What you see, GIAB (GIVING IT ALL BACK) and AUSTERLITZ.
Highly committed to the transmission of knowledge, she leads or takes part in numerous artistic and cultural projects for all kinds of audiences. She defends a plural and transversal approach to ways of dancing, and in particular develops a pedagogy that unfolds the function of the group.
With a degree in "Performing Arts - Dance" (Paris 8, 2001), she also holds a Diplôme d'État d'enseignement de la danse contemporaine (Rencontres Internationales de Danse Contemporaine, 1994) and a Diplôme Universitaire "Techniques du corps et monde du soin" (Paris 8, 2012).
