I am a multidisciplinary French dance artist based in London. The body is at the core of what I do, how I tell stories, direct experiences, and facilitate journeys.

Trained in Ballet and Modern Jazz in my native Paris, I studied Humanities, English and Theatre at university, completed an Acting degree at Royal Central School of Speech & Drama, and performed in theatre, dance, installations, film, TV, voice-over and opera, before dedicating myself entirely to dance and movement.

My MA at London Contemporary Dance School focused equally on performing, choreographing and teaching - three interconnected aspects of my practice. I approach movement technically and playfully, informed by somatics and Easter philosophies. My choreographic style combines abstraction with emotional depth and a dramatic edge. I also DJ, and love intersecting with other art forms, which feeds back into my dance practice. 

Over 20+ years, my career has spanned stage, screen, multimedia, site-specific performance, and everything in between, from small- to large-scale, experimental, mainstream, and commercial. I danced for Arthur Pita, Darren Johnson, Marie-Gabrielle Rotie, Katie Green, Jonathan Burrows, Matteo Fargion, and Tino Sehgal. You might catch glimpses of me in films, such as Shaun of the Dead and Ridley Scott's Kingdom of Heaven, or in British TV drama Afterlife. Fun fact: I am the French voice of GLaDOS in the iconic video game Portal. 

My choreographies have been presented at venues such as Sadler's Wells' Lilian Baylis Theatre, Riverside Studios, The Place, Stratford Circus, RichMix, and Teatro Mercat de les Flors (Barcelona). I've been commissioned by Royal Central School of Speech & Drama, Royal Academy of Music, SIB Dance Lab (Norway), and worked as Associate Choreographer to Arthur Pita. In 2014, I received a Dance UK Choreographer To Choreographer Award with Charlotte Vincent, reflecting on my practice after becoming a mother.

I’m currently interested in XR and hybrid performance, directing movement for film and live events, leading bespoke workshops, and developing my sound editing skills. 

I served as Trustee of
Chisenhale Dance Space 2021-24 and remain an Artist Member there. I was an IJAD/Open Online Theatre 2024-25 Arts/Tech resident, and am Associate Artist with Virtual & Immersive Production studio (University of Nottingham).
