Samuel Mathieu sets up his company in Toulouse in 2001.
In February 2001, he created La DansOthèque, and in April 2002 Dépression dans la cuisine, an expressionist dance/theatre trio performed by women, co-produced by the Vivat d’Armentières and the Paris National Dance Centre. In 2004, in the solo Est-ce.O.elle.solo, for which he was both choreographer and dancer, Samuel Mathieu explored various ways of introspection using video on stage to multiply the body and the dance. The Toulouse / Midi-Pyrénées Choreographic Development Centre was a partner in this project. Us-Band, created in 2005 and performed by four dancers including Samuel Mathieu,fluctuated between laughter and anxiety. The work is based on the strong personalities of the four male dancers, gathered together as a team to shed light on the issue of male intimacy and its representations. In 2006 and 2007, Samuel Mathieu received financial support from the Toulouse / Midi-Pyrénées Choreographic Development Centre Choreography and from the La Digue Theatre in Toulouse. These partnerships gave him the opportunity to develop a two-year project. Throughout the first year, Samuel Mathieu created three independent duos, three portraits of a couple in which he questioned the dramaturgy of the body and human psychology. In 2007, he used the updated work of the duos to set up a choral creation for six dancers: Go On!. En 2008, il répond à l'invitation de la directrice artistique du Théâtre Vorpommern en Allemagne pour chorégraphier Nord-Reich-Nord, pièce pour 7 danseurs du ballet. La Fondation d'Entreprise du Groupe Cahors lui propose ensuite une carte blanche qui lui permet de créer Yan, une pièce pour 6 danseurs, 7 musiciens et 2 calligraphes, fruit de la rencontre entre des artistes français et chinois.
