FIRES of desire: it DANCES
&
Since my arrival on earth, I have lived art as a vital process and life as an artistic process ( :"Life Art Process" said Anna Halprin).
Dance, survey, refine, on the lookout for our perceptions, our bodily consciousness; our arborescent strata of individual, cultural, trans-personal, animal, floral, mythical memories; listen to space inform us as much as it transforms us, to infinity; inhabit all the nuances of our metamorphoses, our multiplicities, our unicities, our interiors of the outside and our outside of the inside, our nature-culture continuum, the fertility of the and... and...

My first allies: writers.
Rebellious by nature to the identification of all species (and other spaces), I return to contemporary dance after studies in literature and humanities (Literary Preparatory Classes and Maîtrise de Lettres Modernes, Linguistic Department - Université Sorbonne, Paris IV).
I train as a self-taught with many dancer choreographers. Some decisive encounters of my career: Sylvie Deluz, Dominique Noël, Jackie Taffanel, Patrice Usseglio, Giusy di Giugno, Eleanor Bauer, Chrysa Parkinson, Benoît Lachambre, Pau Aran, Régine Chopinot, and the world of postmodern dance and contact improvisation.
I founded the Metaballo association in the Cévenne mountains as soon as I obtained my state diploma as a contemporary dance teacher (CREPS de Montpellier, 2012), and since then I have been engaged in the creation and transmission with audiences from all horizons, within multiple structures and associations.
My meta-physical quest has organically led me to learn AFCMD (Functional Analysis of the Dance Movement, with Muriel Demaret), and to practice Feldenkrais® (with Claude Espinassier and Sonia Oneckelink), Yengar Yoga (with Cathy Boyer), Viniyoga with Marie-Christine Calais (IFY), vocal improvisation (with jazz singer Carla Diratz and Roy Hart Theater).
I trained in Somatic Education, via "Matières" with Anne Expert, with the specificity of Body-Mind Centering®, Contact-improvisation dance and Authentic Movement (certification in 2015).
Somatic approaches obviously resonate with the way I feel dance and with my taste for exploration and research, especially around the mystery of what is called scenic "presence". (For 2 years I also had the pleasure of proposing a "presence technic" - as well as a "history of dance"- class , at Aix-Marseille University for Bachelor's and Master's students in the Department of Cultural Mediation of Art).
In parallel, I deepen improvisation and instant composition with the Cie Emmanuel Grivet (Toulouse, certification in 2018).
Today, I continue to study BMC® at the French school Soma and Frey Faust's Axis Syllabus. I feel particularly interested in integrating the subtle labyrinthine and multidirectional glissandi of the fascial network.
Real-time composition improvisation being my source since childhood, I regularly participate in performances. In particular with the late artist collective Studio Nomade, and today with the musicians of the Grand 8 (Marseille). I am also a member of the teaching team of Contact Improvisation Aix-Marseille.
