Wendy Morgan is a commercial film and music video director. She is known for getting unexpected results by embedding dance in pop and world culture to produce a different take on storytelling and characterization.

The choreographer Volmir Cordeiro trained at the Centre National de Danse Contemporaine d'Angers and works on the figures of marginality in contemporary dance.
Les études de Cordeiro, ainsi que son temps passé dans les favelas de Rio au sein de la troupe de Lia Rodrigues lui ont inspiré un désir de ramener à la vie ceux qui sont « condamnés à faiblir, à disparaitre, à dérailler ». Dans ses travaux précédents, le chorégraphe fait preuve d’un intérêt marqué pour l’exploration des personnages défavorisés tels que les travailleurs précaires, les intellectuels en exil, les marginaux et les immigrants.
Volmir Cordeiro a participé à l’exposition Rétrospective de Xavier le Roy, présentée à Rio lors du Panorama Festival en 2013 et au Centre Pompidou en 2014. Il a fait partie, sous la direction d’Emmanuelle Huynh, du projet Emanticipation, un laboratoire, présenté en 2014 à Lafayette Anticipations.
