In 2008, Corentin Abeille started his studies at the Conservatoire d’Art Dramatique in Marseille, where he discovered plays and directing. His practice of directing led him to get interest into technical questions, specially light and sound. In 2010, Corentin became a general manager from an association based in Marseille « Le train en marche ». He got taught on sound system, live but also in studio. He incorporated then, the Institut Musical de Formation Professionnelle in Salon de Provence in order to round off the theoretical part of this particular field. Within those 2 years of study, he took part of many tours from Jazz band and latin music band. Some could still cross him on the road along with band or theater companies (C. Du Dromolo, Rodeo Spaghetti, Théâtre de l’Entrouvert, …). In 2013, he is hired by the Théâtre de la Mer where he ensures a periodical work as technician. Also, working as technician during festivals in Region (Lez’arts au soleil, Tendance Clown, Fêtes vénitiennes de Martigues…).
