After passing a Performing Arts degree in cinema section, she joined in 2007 the National Contemporary Dance Center of Angers where she attended the Choreographic Artist training. At the same time, she went on practising as a musician by discovering joys of accordion through european traditional music network. She is performing for choreographers and directors in France (Alain Buffard, l’Encyclopédie de la Parole, Olivier Normand, La Cavale, Le Théâtre dans la forêt…) and is involved is various music project, such as Rhizottome, SEAPHONE, Superphosphate and Ignatius. In 2009, she left for Japan to invent the solo performance 背後霊– mixing expressionist body, cinema references and music composition. Since then she keeps strong artistic and affective relationship with Japan. After have been awarded with Rhizottome as an artist-in-residence program in Japan (Villa Kujoyama 2015), they created the 庭師の夢 quartet with japanese artists. Since 2008, she is internationally touring with Rhizottome in Europe, Asia and Africa. In 2021 she creates the trio Superphosphate (with Matthieu Metzger and Alban Pacher) that blends acoustic instruments and electronic low tech into a dancing repertoire with geek videos. Since 2023, she produces her own solo album Beliver, and creates music videos in collaboration with various musician. She also keeps on being a stage performer for dance or theater companies. Motion, listening, vulnerability. Through this heterogeneous experience, she has never stopped dealing with all this food for thought that can be found either in her dancing performances or woven in her musical creations and filmed images.

Matthieu Metzger
“Studying saxophone for 16 years with Philippe Di Betta gave him the taste for music beyond aesthetics, and his interest in analysis materialized with the master’s thesis Meshuggah, an atypical metal band. Simultaneously, he got involved in projects concerning contemporary, mandingo, dance musics or in the Klonosphere collective. In 2008, he joined the Louis Sclavis quintet then, soon afterwards, the french Orchestre National de Jazz. More partnerships came into being : François Sarhan, Ictus, Amarillis… He was revealed as a leader with Killing Spree. Attracted by the poetical aspect of music as well as by the means to bring it to life, he learnt electronic instrument-making and recording by himself as a self-taught man, realizing the albums Tower for Marc Ducret, Kino sounds or Rhizottome among others.”
