THE PROJECT
New choreographic dance piece
ABOUT
I’m a self-taught, French-Algerian movement artist currently based in London.
My work explores the interplay between pedestrian and expressive movement. I like to create worlds that research rawness, exhaustion, surrealism, and theatricality. I work closely with music, allowing myself to absorb the textures of
sound into my body intuitively.
PREVIOUS WORK
As an artist my work encompasses different facets. I have worked as a solo performer, movement director, model, as well as dancing for different artists and choreographers. My work as a solo performer has been for independent London collectives such as Lazarus, Unvale, Lasting Speciment and
Roundmouth. During these performances I tended to mix my own music, in many occasions bringing classical and techno music together. I have also worked with artists and choreographers such as Agnes?, Magnus Westwell,
Marcelino Sambé, Max Cookward, Candela Capitan etc. For instance, my last commercial work was for The Victoria And Albert Museum. In this film we take the viewer around the museum, encountering all the different art forms
available within.
