I am a Brussels-based choreographic artist.
In my  performances, I work with slowness, embodied perception, and mythopoetic writing to invite audiences into a libidinal realm of micro-perceptions and unexpected associations. Slowness in my work functions like a magnifying glass through which cultural narratives are exposed.
​
My durational installation Creatures at rest (2021) and my solo for exhibition spaces Slow Visit (2024) address the impact of capitalist speed on our bodies, attention, presence, and capacity for intimate connection. They were presented at Dansand! Festival in Ostend, Museum M Leuven, Serralves Museum Porto, and the Brussels Biennale of Women in Art, among others. 
​
Currently, I am focussing on the Biblical scene of the Annunciation and the myhos of the Virgin-Mother to recalibrate repressive imaginaries in relation to desire and procreation. 
​
At the invitation of the Amsterdam- based curatorial platform Slow Research Lab, I contributed to Slow Spatial Reader: Chronicles of Radical Affection with the chapter “Space as Atmosphere: Floating in a Molecular Bath” (Ed. Carolyn F. Strauss, Valiz, Amsterdam, 2021). 
​
I have toured internationally as dance performer in projects by Benjamin Vandewalle, Les gens d’Uterpan, Stav Yeini and Evelien Cammaert. As dramaturge, I accompany research and creation processes in performance, dance and circus. I occasionally teach at ESAC (École Supérieure des Arts du Cirque, Brussels).

I also practice as certified fascia-therapist.
