Yasmine Hugonnet is a choreographer, dancer, and researcher, born in Montreux in Switzerland. She developed her dance language with a focus on the relation between postures, attention and imagination. Deepening her understanding of the movement, of attention, the germination of figures, the idea of postures as containers; within her processes she developed a practice of ventriloquism.

In September 2019, she created and presented the in situ project Extensions in Bellerive Park with twelve performers from the Lausanne region. In October 2019, she began a three-month residency in Palermo as part of Istituto Svizzero residency programme Palermo Calling, at Palazzo Butera. In December 2019, she presented several projects in this context: an adaptation of the Extensions project, involving Italian dancers, as well as the solos Se Sentir Vivant and Le Rituel des Fausses Fleurs. In 2019, she conceived Seven Winters, a work including seven performers, and which was performed in September in 2020 at the Théâtre de Vidy.
