Director of the CNDC in Angers from 2004 to 2012 she currently heads the workshop at the Paris School of Art (Beaux-Arts de Paris). Emmanuelle Huynh’s work is backed by Plateforme Múa, subsidised by Drac Pays de la Loire – the French Ministry of Culture, and the Loire-Atlantique and Saint-Nazaire councils. She was an associate artist at the state subsidised Théâtre de Nîmes from 2018 to 2021.

“I will be sharing how I put together my solo Nuée in 2021, following the death of my father Huynh thanh Van, Nuage Bleu. I will include the solo dances that demonstrate the three ways of moving that shaped me as a dancer and choreographer: ballet, postmodern and butô. This map of movement is presented as a superposition of my father’s acupuncture practice – a vision of a body criss-crossed with paths of intensity.”
