A choreographer and dancer, Aina Alegre has been creating a wide range of shows and performances since 2010. She views choreographic creation as a space for opening up new imaginaries around the body. Through dance, she explores different relationships with the collective body, and her choreographic work is conceived as an “orchestration” of movement, sound, light, and space. For several years now, Aina Alegre has been developing a style that is as much choreographic as it is musical. Through her creations, she also conducts research on the concepts of memory and archives, which run through her entire body of work.
After completing a multidisciplinary training program combining dance, theater, and music in Barcelona, Aina Alegre joined the CNDC in Angers in 2007. Beginning in 2010, she worked as a performer while also creating stage productions and performances in hybrid spaces. In 2014, she founded the company STUDIO FICTIF in Paris to support her projects and creations. Since then, her work has been presented in various countries, including Spain, France, Italy, Belgium, Greece, Switzerland, Germany, Peru, and Romania.
In 2011, she created the performance *LA MAJADESNUDA DICE*, which led to the creation of the piece *NO SE TRATA DE UN DESNUDO MITOLÓGICO* (2012). She subsequently created *DELICES* (2015), *LE JOUR DE LA BÊTE* (2017), and *LA NUITNOS AUTRES* (2019). In 2020, she created the piece CONCRERTO in collaboration with David Wampach and the solo R-A-U-X-A. In 2021, she created ÉTUDE 4, FANDANGO ET AUTRES CADENCES at the Avignon Festival as part of the “Vive le sujet!” program, co-produced with the SACD. In 2022, she premiered her first major group piece, THIS IS NOT (AN ACT OF LOVE & RESISTANCE). In 2023, she premiered SWING-MOTOR for the Jeune Ballet du CNSMD de Lyon. That same year, she opened the Marseille Festival with PARADES & DÉSOBÉISSANCES, a piece bringing together over a hundred amateur dancers, which was revived in 2024 at the Palais des Sports in Grenoble. Since May 2024, she has been performing BLAU in museum settings, a solo piece originally conceived for the Miró exhibition at the Musée de Grenoble. In March 2025, she premiered FUGACES at the MC2: Grenoble, a piece for seven dancers. In July 2025, she presented a new version of PARADES & DÉSOBÉISSANCES, in collaboration with Bonlieu Scène nationale Annecy, as the opening performance of Annecy Paysages and at the Défilé de la Biennale de Lyon.
Alongside her stage projects, since 2018 she has been developing the research and performance project ÉTUDES, through which she engages with people and communities and collects stories and dances centered on practices and movements related to hammering and striking. She works with memory and archives, using speech as a choreographic driving force. In the fall of 2024, she presented her latest study, RÉVERBÉRATIONS - ÉTUDE 8, at the Festival Les Inaccoutumées at the Ménagerie de Verre in Paris.
Since 2023, she has co-directed the Centre chorégraphique national de Grenoble with dancer Yannick Hugron.
AWARDS
In 2019, she won the jury prize at the Podium competition for the piece DELICES.
In 2023, she received the Serra d'Or Critics' Award for Best Dance Performance for the piece R-A-U-X-A.

Yannick Hugron is a dancer, teacher, choreographic assistant, and costume designer. He views his artistic journey as a constantly evolving exploration, enriched by the diverse experiences and ideas he encounters. His concerns regarding the profession of a performer and its fragile longevity lead him to re-examine the tools available to him, as well as his place today in the choreographic world.
After training at the Centre chorégraphique national de Montpellier and studying at the Conservatoire national supérieur de danse de Lyon, Yannick Hugron joined the Centre chorégraphique national de Grenoble under Jean Claude Gallotta, with whom he worked for over ten years before going on to perform his repertoire in France and abroad.
As a performer, he went on to collaborate with artists such as Alban Richard, Fabrice Lambert, Joanne Leighton, Mithkal Alzghair, Mélanie Perrier, Marion Carriau, and Aina Alegre.
His experience quickly became multifaceted. He has participated in numerous educational programs, co-founded a Franco-Japanese creative platform in Japan aimed at fostering emerging artists, assisted on many choreographic projects, and directed and designed the set (in collaboration with designer Stephanie Langard) for baritone Marc Mauillon’s recital.
His artistic collaborations have also led him to research and develop instantaneous composition with Katell Hartereau and Leonard Rainis, as well as a shift toward somatic practices.
His meeting with Alexandra Bertaut led him to design and produce the set and costumes for the project Chêne centenaire by Marion Carriau and Magda Kachouche.
As a performer, he is participating in the upcoming productions by Marion Carriau, L'Amiral Sénès (2024), and by Aina Alegre, FUGACES (2025).
Since 2023, Yannick Hugron has co-directed the Centre chorégraphique national de Grenoble alongside choreographer Aina Alegre.
