Ballet

I grew up with ballet. I loved the research of excellence in each movements and the elegence of the postures. I wasen’t the best dancers though, I struggled a lot with remembering steps and keep my focus sharp. The discipline side of ballet were especialy challenging  as I were longing for the freedom I could feel when I danced alone in my room or outside in nature.

Traditional world Dances and Salsa

I have been part of a traditional world dance company with dance lovers from different social classes and ages. The teacher and choreographer had a beautiful energy and very touching human qualities which inspired us to give our best to each others and to the representation we gave. I often remember her. She is the first who sparkled in me the desire to work with dance. I also learned partnerdance with Salsa in Fontainebleau and in Paris at Isis Figaro’s school. But again I were longing for more freedom in my movement. I wanted to explore somthing else…

Cultural mediation and project management

Whereas my dream were to become a choreographer, I didn’t dare to go for dance studies. I also were afraid to learn a specific way of dancing and lose my personal movement research. To stay connected with the artistic scene and imagine one day, making my dream come true, I chosed to study Cultrural mediation and project management. I get a licence in Paris VIII in 2007 and a Master in the Catholique university of Lille in 2009. I worked for beautiful and meaningfull projects like the scientific festival « Les rencontres de la terre/ Geosynandisis » with Sylvie Gruszow in Athens (Greece), The artistic festival  » Pile au Rendez-vous » in Roubaix (France) and the opera show for the business meeting of L’oreal in Kos (Greece).

Contemporary Dance and Butoh

When I first met contemporary dance and Butoh a new world openend up ! I didn’t know that what I was interested in, what I was longing to explore; other people did a while ago and offered their wisdom through those practices. Over the last decade I learned Contemporary Dance in the DTM Studio with Elizabeth Schmidt, at MicaDanse, at « La ménagerie de verre » in Paris, in Athens with Marianna Tdagarakis and Aris Papadopoulos and in Amsterdam at Heni Studio and ReMo Studio. I also trained in Butoh for more or less 2 years with Mariana Tsagaraki, Tebby Ramasike and Juju Alishina with regular classes and Workshops.

Dance Therapy, Mimmothérapy and Circling 

.Very interested in finding a way to dance in a way that respect our bodies and our essence, I’ve been trained in Pilates in 2010, certified in dance-therapy in thailand at Samma Karuna In 2014, and in Mimotherapy (a mix of mime and pschomotricity) in Paris with Simone Conein-Gaillard in 2015. In 2016, I discovered a meditative practice called circling which revolutioned my way of thinking dance and choreography. In love with this practice, I traveled around the world to meet amazing practicioners and try different flavors of it in Austin, Oslo, London, Amsterdam, Utrecht, Stockholm, Vasteras, Tallin, Copenhague, and Antwerp. I’ve been certified in 2017 in Oslo after a 6 month training with John Thompson, Sean Wilkinson and Tina Svingerud.

Contact me for a dance class, a circling session or a collaboration.
