Camille Chevalier
A former gymnast, Camille discovered dance at the age of 14 whilst taking classes in hip-hop, modern jazz and ballet in the Poitou-Charentes region.
After three years of professional training at the Centre Chorégraphique James Carlès in Toulouse and obtaining her EAT in jazz dance, she turned her attention to contemporary dance and began her professional career in 2017 with the Compagnie LA LICORNE (Alain Gruttadauria).
She then furthered her training in contemporary dance, floorwork and acro-dance at leading institutions (the Alvin Ailey School, the Broadway Dance Centre, the Batsheva Young Ensemble and the Centre National des Arts du Cirque) and through numerous international workshops.
In 2018, she joined the VOIX Company (Margherita Bergamo) as a performer and began writing a duet with her partner Benjamin Labruyère, with whom she founded the PSAODI Company in 2020.
Between 2021 and 2026, she continued her career (as a dancer, actress, acro-dancer and choreographic assistant) with numerous companies: Cie ECARTS (Philippe Cheloudiakoff), Cie ARKETIP (Lionel Coleno), Cie HORS SURFACE (Damion Droin), Cie LE GRAND JETE! (Frédéric Cellé), Cie CARNA (Alexandre Blondel) and the BEAVERDAM COMPANY (Édouard Hue).
She is currently a performer (dancer) with the 1DSI Company (Etienne Rochefort) and GAZOUILLIS DES ELEPHANTS (Leonard Lesage), and co-directs the COMPAGNIE PSAODI with Benjamin Labruyère.
The company’s aesthetic lies at the intersection of dance theatre, contemporary dance, acrodance and acrobatic lifts.
Since its creation, the PSAODI Company has produced two duets, “Dis-moi que je suis” (2020) and “Cela aussi passera” (2023); a bar-based solo, “Les Assoiffés” (2025); a group piece commissioned by the Demard Museum in Champlitte (70), “Le Poids du ciel” (2026); and a piece for four dancers currently in development, “FULGURE” (2028).
It teaches, shares and passes on its expertise and love of movement through various courses, workshops and masterclasses in floorwork, contemporary dance, dance-theatre and somatic practices.
