Compagnie Olivier Dubois (COD) was created in 2007. It is currently in residence at Centquatre in Paris, where its director and choreographer has been an associate artist since 2012, and l'Onde Théâtre et centre d'Art de Vélizy-Villacoublay since 2024.
Creation & Dissemination
Audience outreach, both in France and internationally, is a significant part of the Company’s work, which aims to present new creations as well as key works from its repertoire such as Tragédie (Tragedy) and Auguri.
The company’s current program revolves around three pieces, alternating between light forms and group pieces: Pour sortir au jour (My Body Of Coming Forth by Day), a solo performed by Olivier Dubois (2018); Tragedy New Edit, a rewriting of the landmark choreographic poem ten years after its creation, for eighteen performers (2022), and the creation of For Gods Only / Sacre #3, following on from the Sacre(s) du Printemps collection, imagined and created for étoile dancer Marie-Agnès Gillot (2024).
Mediation & Amateur Dancers
The Company pays particular attention to the inclusion of amateur dancers, as witness the numerous workshops designed for a wide range of audiences (junior high school and high school students, young adults, etc.). One of the distinctive features of these workshops is that they aim to involve amateur dancers in the creative process leading up to pieces such as Mille et une dances (Thousand and One Dances), created during the 2017 Nuit Blanche in Paris, or Origami, which engaged with more than 1,000 lower grade and high school students from Roubaix.
Olivier Dubois dedicates several of his creations to amateurs, such as Les Mémoires d’une seigneure (2024), a feminine adaptation of the play created ten years earlier, with a core of 40 female amateurs, and Drummers in 2025 at the Philharmonie de Paris, in collaboration with the artist Yuksek.
Being associated artist to CENTQUATRE-PARIS and with L’Onde Théâtre et Centre d’Art de Vélizy-Villacoublay have opened the way for new outreach initiatives with local residents, schools, colleges and universities.
