About me
Ballet developments
I was 9 years old when I entered the Conservatoire de danse du Théâtre Royal de la Monnaie in Brussels.
Contemporary continuation
An uninterrupted 18 years of devoted labour left me exhausted.
Finding the words
I then felt the need to conciliate my knowledge and experience and to define it with words grounded in academic theories.

Inquiring for the body is my profession, using intuition as a method of learning, intelligence as a common denominator and culture as a necessity for growth and expansion.
My investigation begun at the ballet academy, the examiner asked me to point my foot while ‘stretching’ my knees. How could this be possible?
My teachers did their best to sculpt and condition my body to jump high and elegantly but, with all respect, they failed to make me conscious of my body’s true nature. ‘Fit the mould’ was the order of the day.
It is in fact only after the end of my ballet-career that started my quest to regain the genuine living body underneath the exclusive instrument it had become.
Through various theories of dance and movement philosophies, my perceptions changed and my paradigms got challenged again and again.
My consciousness for the body as organic substance, alive and subsisting to the rhythm of nature awoke; in its shapes, expressions and needs.
