Since 2008 he has headed the Center chorégraphique national in Rennes , which he declared as the “Musée de la danse” and founded a group under this title.

He works with dancers such as Régine Chopinot , Odile Duboc , Olivia Grandville and Meg Stuart . In 1993 the group he founded, "edna", brought out A bras-le-corps as their first piece . In 2006 he produced Régi with Raimund Hoghe and Julia Cima . In 2009, he assembled Merce Cunningham's poses into a flip book .

For the festival year 2011 he was elected artistic director of the Festival d'Avignon . That year he himself presented the new piece Enfant and a reworking of Levée des conflits .

Both performed in the duo Partita 2 (to Bach's music), choreographed by Anne Teresa De Keersmaeker in 2013 . In November 2013 the “Musée de la danse” made a guest appearance at MoMA under the title Three Collective Gestures with several works by Charmatz .
