I am an independent French dance artist based in London. I dance, make dance and make people dance.

Trained in ballet and modern jazz in my native Paris, I studied English and Theatre at university, completed an Acting degree at Central School of Speech & Drama, and performed in theatre, physical theatre, dance theatre, 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 areas that I keep nurturing. My approach is technical and playful, informed by somatics, and influenced by embodiment philosophies of East & Southeast Asia. My style combines abstraction with emotional depth and a taste for a dramatic edge. I love intersecting with other art forms. I also curate and mix music/DJ.

My 20+ year career spans stage, film, multimedia, site-specific performance and everything in between, small and large scale, experimental, mainstream and commercial. I 
performed for Arthur Pita (who I also was Associate Choreographer to), Darren Johnson, Marie-Gabrielle Rotie, Katie Green, Jonathan Burrows and Matteo Fargion, and Tino Sehgal.
​
My
choreographies have shown at Sadler's Wells' Lilian Baylis theatre, Riverside Studios, The Place, Stratford Circus, RichMix and Barcelona's Teatro Mercat de les Flors, among other venues.
I have been commissioned by Royal Central School of Speech & Drama, Royal Academy of Music and SIB Dance Lab (Norway), and was Associate Choreographer to Arthur Pita.
In 2014 I received a Dance UK Choreographer To Choreographer Award with Charlotte Vincent to reflect on my practice after becoming a mother.

Nowadays, my interest lies in interdisciplinary collaborations, XR and hybrid performance, film, and leading bespoke movement and embodied practice workshops internationally.

I served as Trustee of
Chisenhale Dance Space 2021-2024, and remain an Artist Member there. I am a resident artist at Open Online Theatre, IJAD Dance Company's virtual platform.
