Plasson, Fabien

Born in 1977, Fabien Plasson is a video director specialized in the field of performing arts (dance , music, etc).

During his studies at the Ecole Nationale des Beaux-Arts de Lyon (joined in 1995) Fabien discovered video art. He was trained by various video artists (Joel Bartoloméo Pascal Nottoli , Eric Duyckaerts , etc).
He first experimented with the creation of installations and cinematic objects.

From 2001 to 2011, he was in charge of Ginger & Fred video Bar’s programming at La Maison de la Danse in Lyon. He discovered the choreographic field and the importance of this medium in the dissemination, mediation and pedagogical approach to dance alongside Charles Picq, who was a brilliant video director and the director of the video department at that time.

Today, Fabien Plasson is the video director at La Maison de la Danse and in charge of the video section of Numeridanse.tv, an online international  video library, and continues his creative activities, making videos of concerts, performances and also creating video sets for live performances.

XY

Artistic direction: Abdeliazide Senhadji et Mahmoud Louertani

Creation: 2004


The Compagnie XY was born in 2004 out of an encounter between two circus artists, Abdeliazide Senhadji and Mahmoud Louertani, with their duo of students at the circus school in Lomme. ‘XY’, just as with any company, was not meant to last after the show 'Laissez-Porter', which was created in 2005. Four years and some 200 performances later, Abdel suggested bringing together a collective of acrobats on the stage, in the ring or on the road to play out the language of ‘stunts’ practised by many. In May 2009, 'Le grand C' and its 17 acrobats gave their first performance and, contrary to all expectations, the Cie XY forged an identity for itself. 'Le grand C' has been performed over 300 times around the world. 'Il n'est pas encore minuit (...)' was built on these strengths; artistic research around acrobatic stunts and work in large groups, the invention of a common language. A collective approach with a definite concept of encounter, openness and sharing.
