Info
A young woman lives alone in a cold, dazzlingly white space where darkness does not exist. Gradually, darkness begins to appear. Both anxious and intrigued by this phenomenon that slowly absorbs her world, she feels herself disappearing, losing the boundaries of her own identity. The disappearance of light invites her to transformation, defying the fixity of self and pushing her into a multiplicity of being. A strong sensation of pleasure and power emerges. Nox is an attempt to understand how darkness opens our doors to perception and introspection. Léa Vinette seeks the virginity and power of the body in her work, a sensory, primitive body charged with graceful violence.
In her practice, Léa Vinette seeks the new and the power of a sensorial and primitive body, charged with graceful violence.

Biography
First trained at the Nantes conservatory, then in Lyon, Léa then followed training in dance and choreography at the ArtEZ school of higher arts in the Netherlands (BA in 2017).
And in 2014, Léa met Florence Augendre and her work in fasciapulsology applied to dance. It is important to practice research in physics and intellect, and it is important to prepare for creation.
In 2020, Léa followed training in Charleroi in dance and choreographic practices with Mark Tompkins, Boris Charmatz, Lia Rodrigues, Nora Chipaumire.
Today, Léa divides her time between her work as a performer and choreographer. She works with Louise Vanneste-Rising Horses (earths; METAKUSTE), Michèle Murray-PLAY (Duos/Collisions et Combustions, Wilder Shores, TIME), Tabea Martin (Geh nicht in den Wald, im Wald ist der Wald), Marielle Morales (M- Ondes). Since 2020, Léa has been developing her work as a choreographer in the areas of Brussels and Nantes.
She created her first piece in November 2022, the solo Nox, at the CCN in Nantes. In march 2024, she premiered her second piece, the duet Nos FEUX with Ido Bastah, at the CNDC in Angers as part of the Conversations festival. Léa combines a visceral and carnal physicality with sensitive writing. It is the raw and brutal nature of man that interests him, his sometimes bubbling energy which agitates and moves him, between emotions and reason. To express this vitality and the beauty of contrasts, she works with electric, alert, and spontaneous bodies.
Léa is associated artist at CNDC of Angers from 2024 to 2027. Her projects are produced and distributed by Météores.
