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.

Nonchalant and uninterested in consensus, the Dyptik company dances its identity and revolt with force and authenticity.
 We are committed in our relationship to alterity, to other people and  the body. We explore what it means to be human. With special attention  to humankind’s history, we consider the intimate and the depth of  things.
 Through artistic creation and transmission, when we accompany and when  we host, or when we bring people together… We dig for the visceral, what  is most powerful in each and every one. Sometimes to exhaustion.

Dyptik was founded in 2012 by choreographers Mehdi Meghari and Souhail Marchiche. The  company is based in Saint-Etienne, France and has the support of the  city of Saint-Etienne, the DRAC, the region Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes and the  Loire department.

As early as 2012, Dyptik started exploring the theme of identity, through two choreographic pieces: En quête (2012) and Dyptik (2014).

The company then went on to tackle the topic of revolt with D-Construction (2016), Dans l’engrenage (2017) and Le Cri (2018).

Besides its creative work, the company has been developing many cultural initiatives, among which TRAX, an annual festival created in 2014.

The company is committed to the values of sharing, cultural exchange  and engaging with other people. The company opens its Saint-Etienne  studios to artists and the public so as to make them a true platform for residencies and performances.

The  Company is an associate artist with the Maison de la Danse in Lyon for  the 2017/2018 season as part of the European Creative Pole, and with the  Théâtre de Cusset for the period 2017-2020.
