Marie is a performer, contact improviser, choreographer, teacher and massage therapist.

Through these embodied practices, she investigates the Bodymind via an experiential, artistic and somatic perspective. 

She has an extensive background in contemporary dance, contact improvisation and multi-disciplinary work, having worked with companies and groups of artists on a global scale for the past 17 years. 

Her work places the question of relational identity at the core of her research, and has concretised in the creation of the piece on fascial awareness and tensegrity ‘Striking Chords’ perfromed at Trinity Laban and Tripspace as part of the festival 'Make movement matter'.

She has been developing the CI community in Germany and in London, teaching regular classes and workshops (Chisenhale Dance, Konstanz University, The Place...), she co-founded the TripCI collective based at Tripspace, co-organised and co-led a mini CI festival on ‘consent’, led warm-up and labs for jams (Innsbruck, Bern, London, Freiburg), taught at international festivals (Tänzerdorf, Ci in paradise, Ci Goldsmiths) and in various institutions (London contemporary Dance School, Tanznetz Freiburg, Tanzfabrik Berlin, London Studio Centre, national Centre for Circus Arts...)

She has a BA in contemporary dance from the London Contemporary Dance School and a Master of the Art (creative practice, with distinction).  She received the Gill Clark bursary and Leverhulme fund.
