Nelly Frenoux
v o i x t h é â t r e m u s i c a l j e u n e p u b l i c
Her interests focus on contemporary music and on the voice in all its possible permutations.
Her work takes the following directions :
Composer, writer, and performer of musical performances for young audiences. Her work explores the connections between voice, body, movement, and sound objects. Her performances are influenced by contemporary music and have known a wide dissemination in France and abroad. She has toured France, Lebanon, Senegal, Turkey, Algeria, and Brazil.
Her performances have been sponsored by the Conseil Général Isère, by the City of Grenoble, by DRAC Rhône-Alpes, and have been co-produced by the Théâtre Nouvelle Génération CDN Lyon, the Théâtre de la Renaissance, Oullins, Le Grand Angle, Voiron, and the Amphithéâtre, Pont de Claix.
During the time of her residency at the Théâtre de La Renaissance of Oullins, she was commissioned to compose a musical score for 27 children aged 5 by the publisher Mômeludies. The project was granted state funding (a Commande d’Etat) and received the kind support of the Ministry of Culture and Communication of France (DMDTS - Aide à l’ Ecriture).
The ensuing performance, Moussaillons, received the support of the Fondation de France and was co-produced with the Théâtre de la Renaissance of Oullins. A DVD recounts the yearlong preparation of the performance divided between the school and the Cultural Centre.
In addition, two documentaries directed by Pierre Garbolino (Goûteurs de sons and Moussaillons) shed light on her artistic and pedagogical work.
For three years (in 2009, 2011 and 2012), the Conseil Régional Rhône-Alpes / Fiacre volet International gave its support to Cabanes, a French-Brazilian production.
