The Company

Emilie Buestel received her training in contemporary dance from Yvan Alexandre, at the EPSE Anne-Marie Porras school in Montpellier and at the RIDC (Rencontre International de Danse Contemporaine) in Paris. Two important persons have particularly influenced her: Nadine Beaulieu, with whom she has taken classes and workshop, and Nathalie Schulmann, who helped her persevere on the analysis of the choreographed movement.

Emilie Buestel has performed for the Hapax Compagnie, Nadine Beaulieu, Frichti Concept, Arcane, the collective Sans moi ou presque, Azimuts, Cie N°8, Pasarela. She has also assisted Philippe Ménard on the Memory projects.

In 2006, strengthened by her experience as a performer, Emilie Buestel initiated Sauf le Dimanche with Marie Doiret.

Today, she imagines projects mixing various disciplines (architecture, painting, contemporary art, literature…).

Julia started by studying Science and technique in sports and physical activities (STAPS Bachelor). Meanwhile, she meets the choreographer Nadine Beaulieu, introducing her to Eric Hawkin’s technique and to the inner workings of a performing arts company. Drawn to the relatiohship between the actor’s body/spectator’s body, she continues her studies with a Master in promoting culture.

At the same time, she participates in collective projects, pop-up and insitu creations. Attracted by non-dedicated spaces, she develops her intuition by working on street improvisation with the company Jeanne Simone. For a few years, she creates her own projects in public spaces (Cie Ironie du corps).

Today, she performs with several dance companies (L’Avaleur, Cie Satellite,  Sauf le dimanche) and continues to choreograph for street art companies (Cie Les Toiles Cirées, Cie Le Thyase, Cie Les Armoires Pleines, Collectif La Méandre, Cie Veiculo Longo).

Olivia is a dancer/performer since 2011.

She studied at the CNSMD in Lyon, followed by the CCN in Rillieux la Pape with Maguy Marin. She obtained her Diploma (DNSPD) in 2010 and her Bachelors in performance arts and anthropological studies in 2011. She notably danced for the companies Balades, Autremina, the Kubilai Khan Investigation, the compagnie Chicanes, the group Clara Scotch and the company Tangible. She performed for Joelle Bouvier, Nadine Beaulieu, Samir Elyamni and Didier Theron.
From 2016, she receives training in the Decroux technique with Benoit Theberge, she accompanies amateur groups and provides an outsider’s overview for several choreographic projects. In 2020, she creates the company Pilote in order to develop her own choreographies.

Today she works with the companis AR; Atmen; LAC; OkO and Pied d’Argile.

In 2020, she joins the Sauf le Dimanche company.

As a dance performer, she dances with choreographers such as la Cie Nadine Beaulieu, Marika Rizzi, Cie 1er mars, Nasser Martin Gousset for a film (France), Tania Soubry (Luxemburg), Jonathan Stone, Zoi Dimitriou (London), Rococo Production, Pele Bausch, Movement Pants Dance and the artist Olek (New York).

Since 10 years she collaborates with the British artist Janine Harrington, at times on common projects and, at other times on their respective projects.

In 2009 she founds the Small Room Dance, home to her choreographic research and writes pieces which can be performed both on and off-stage. The Small Room Dance leads her to a unique approach highlighting the encounter with the other, as much in her creations as in her sensitization approaches, like the ones with Sauf le Dimanche.
