From 1989 to 1999 I created a dozen pieces and projects.
Most of them were co-created, notably with Bernadette Doneux for the very first creation, and then with Fabiene Compet. During this period I also worked with the composer Kasper T. Tœplitz. During the second part of this period, between 1996 and 1999 I created three projects with the visual artist Francisco Ruiz de Infante. My encounter with Ruiz de Infante was decisive in what was to become my personal work as a choreographer, beginning in 2000.
In these beginnings I experimented my first hypotheses in composition, I learned to direct an artistic team, I worked in the studio, on stage, in art centres, in industrial wastelands, in circus tents and public spaces.
I consider all of the creations of this period as choreographic studies.
