Nathalie Pubellier

portrait de nathalie pubellier (French version)
Nathalie Pubellier is a choreographer, performer, and teacher.
Through three main axes — creation, transmission, and research — she develops a singular approach centered on the sensitive body and the memory of movement, notably structured through her method CCCMD — Conscious, Constructed, Mobile and Available Body.
After studying medicine and biology in Marseille, she trained in dance with Dany-Rudy Bryans and Colette Armand, before joining the professional school of Gianin Loringett in Nice. There, she deepened her practice of Graham (Françoise Verdier) and Cunningham (Micheline Lelièvre) techniques.
This diverse training led to an eclectic performing career across various fields: cabaret (Paradis Latin), film, opera, theatre, and contemporary dance companies. She has collaborated with numerous choreographers, including Jennifer Muller, Molly Molloy, Anne Dreyfus, Jean Gaudin, as well as the Ballets de Liège.

As a choreographer and artistic director of L’Estampe, she has received several choreographic awards. She has been artist-in-residence in various Parisian venues (Théâtre des Amandiers, Étoile du Nord, Théâtre du Lierre, Espace Paris Plaine, Micadanses), and has created over thirty-five works performed in France and abroad.

Her work unfolds through a constant dialogue with other artistic disciplines. She regularly collaborates with musicians, composers, directors, and video artists. The Slovenian composer Izidor Leitinger has notably composed the music for several of her creations.

Internationally, she was invited to Brazil in 2009 as part of the Year of France in Brazil, and since 2015 has developed artistic collaborations with Japan. In 2023, she created Flux, a piece for 13 Senegalese dancers, invited by the Institut français de Dakar and the Dalifort Dance Festival.

Alongside her creative work, she maintains an active teaching practice, through which she transmits her CCCMD approach. She teaches at the Conservatoire National Supérieur de Musique et de Danse de Paris and at LAAC (Atelier d’Art Chorégraphique directed by Clairemarie Osta and Nicolas Le Riche).

She is regularly invited in France and abroad for masterclasses, creative projects, and repertoire transmission.

CCCMD now forms the foundation of her research and pedagogy, articulating technique, sensation, and thought within an approach to the body that is at once conscious, structured, and deeply alive.
