If Myriam Pruvot's approach borrows from many media - installation, performance, sound art, improvisation, poetry and musical composition - it is nevertheless always innervated by the question of song, language and place. She is particularly interested in the political, poetic and philosophical dimensions of these objects. This circulation between the positions of transmitter and receiver has led her to reflect on our sonic occupations and our sonic expressions in a sonic and feminist way. To borrow the radio parabola as an artistic gesture and political position.
She has collaborated as a performer and collaborator in numerous radio, musical and choreographic projects with artists such as Alessandro Bosetti, Anne-Laure Pigache, Yasmina Reggad, Sylvain Chauveau, Myriam Van Imshoot, Céline Cartillier, Mathias Varenne, the collectives Groupenfonction and Désorceler la finance, and the Chilean national ballet El Banch in Europe and beyond. 

In 2015 she joined Prototype II, a research program in choreographic composition at the Abbaye de Royaumont entitled"The vocal presence in the choreographic score", as a composer. She anchored her voice/gesture approach and created the performance then radio creation La parole chanceuse. In 2018 she is invited by the Halles de Schaerbeek to stay in Morocco and makes an installation Safar and a creative documentary I speak all languages, but in Arabic. In 2019 she is laureate of a residency at ISELP in Brussels to continue her research on singing and orality and conceives a publication Singing Archives, a performance Engrammer and a performative installation 3 x Tiresia. She develops her own transmission tools during workshops and leads a module in sound creation and experimental music with Céline Gillain at the Académie de La Cambre. Her work has been shown at the Ecos festival in Lisbon, Monophonic and Ars Musica in Brussels, RE:FLUX in Quebec and more recently during the exhibitions Vision at the Halles de Schaerbeek and Babel at the ISELP as well as at the meetings Les yeux grands fermés in Geneva. Her last collaborations were performed at the Kunstenfestivaldesarts and at the cinema Galerie in Brussels. She is currently working on a radio chamber opera for the Archipel festival in Geneva and will begin her first collaboration with the ICTUS ensemble during Europalia in the fall of 2021.
