PERFORMER

—

Born in Ivory Coast, Nadia Beugré made her first appearance in 1995 as a member of the Dante Theatre. Two years later, she became a founding member of Béatrice Kombé’s groundbreaking, all-female dance ensemble, TchéTché, with whom she toured for years to critical acclaim across Africa, Europe and North America. Following a training at Germaine Acogny’s Ecole des sables in Senegal, she joined in 2009 Ex.e.r.ce., Mathilde Monnier’s programme for talented, up-and-coming choreographers at the Centre Chorégraphique National de Montpellier.
She was soon staging productions of her own, including the still-touring solo Quartiers libres ('Free Rein') in 2012.

A second decisive encounter marked Nadia's career. Alain Buffard, for whom she performed Mauvais genre and Baron Samedi where she met Dorothée Munyaneza.

Recent works include L’Homme rare (2020), an all-male quintet performance, and in 2023, the duet Filles-Pétroles(2023) and Prophétique (on est déjà né.es).

Beugré also performs in works by fellow choreographers, such as Seydou Boro, Dorothée Munyaneza, Bernardo Montet, Boris Charmatz or in 2022 Robyn Orlin.

Nadia Beugré is since 2021 associate artist to the Briqueterie in Vitry-sur-Seine (France) and associate artist to ICI CCN de Montpellier (2023-2024).

Nadia Beugré has just been awarded the 2023 SACD Prize for New Choreographic Talent
