About
Julie Beauvais is an artist, choreographer, director and curator based in Valais, Switzerland.
Her body of work ranges from opera and choreographic works,
to architectural interventions, video works and performative installations. Her art is driven by her interests
in embodied experience, conscience and elevation and has been performed and exhibited internationally since 2001.
In 2020, she becomes co-director
of Zurich Festival for New Music SONIC MATTER.
After graduating from Ecole Jacques Lecoq in Paris, Beauvais co-founds several companies in the United States, in Switzerland and in Denmark. For seven years,
she researches transnationally, exploring forms of epic theatre
in diverse political contexts. The work leads to long term collaborations with Brazilian, Mongolian and Nicaraguan companies.
In 2006, Beauvais starts directing operas and focusing on contemporary opera. She creates
a platform for her research by founding BadNewsFromTheStars*,
a transterritorial and transdisciplinary
laboratory for innovative
convergences of sonic explorations, scientific researches and environmental studies.
With her teams, Beauvais explores new perspectives on international cooperation for sustainable development in a context of emerging challenges and shifting paradigms.The approach tuned to '
multispecies becoming with'
combines deep listening practices, sound art, vocalities, music,
conscious movement and scientific
observations.
Invited to share her researches,
she is regularly engaged by educational institutions including
HEMU - Haute Ecole de Musique (CH), ZHdK - Zürcher Hochschule
der Künste (CH), EPFL - Ecole Polytechnique Fédérale de Lausanne (CH), International Theatre School
of the Russian Federation in Moscow (RU), Arthaus.Berlin International Training and Research Center (DE), Srishti Institute of Art, design and Technology (IN).
Recently, Beauvais choreographed
and directed, with artist Horace Lundd and composer Christophe Fellay, ORLANDO coproduced by La Bâtie-Festival de Genève, performed in, among other, Festival Internacional de Buenos Aires, Santiago a Mil Festival, Mostra Internacional de Teatro de São Paulo and programmed at the European nomadic biennial Manifesta 13 in Marseille.
Commissioned by Ensemble Intercontemporain - founded by Pierre Boulez and directed by artistic director and composer Matthias Pintscher - Beauvais is currently imagining with composer Joan Magrané Figuera an immersive performance based on Maeterlinck's play Intérieur.
Together with SONIC MATTER festival, artist Claire Chase, anthropologist Eduardo Kohn and other researchers across the world, Beauvais is now elaborating THE WITNESS by Pauline Oliveros, a three-year long multispecies site-specific open laboratory with humans and more-than-humans in South America, North America, Africa, India, the Arabic region, Russia and Switzerland.
