Based in Brussels since 2010, Marie Goudot and Michaël Pomero are dancers, choreographers, and teachers who have been active in the European dance landscape since the late 1990s.
Their work is rooted in deeply collaborative processes, exploring movement through shared research and collective intelligence.
In 2005, they co-founded the choreographic laboratory LOGE22 with Julien Monty.
LOGE22 has created twelve performances (Angle mort, Sur Faces, …comme étant de l’émiettement, Konkretheit, Rumeur…), presented internationally (France, Belgium, Greece, Slovenia, Croatia, the United States). It has also contributed to collective artistic research through projects such as SPIDER, a multidisciplinary itinerant festival and European artistic network active from 2010 to 2016.
In 2022, they co-founded YOUNGSTERS, a Brussels-based platform of international artists that—through artistic explorations—aims to bridge social and cultural divides by emphasizing diversity and accessibility.
They create spaces for young people in Brussels to gather and participate in social and cultural activities conceived as ephemeral creative processes. Each activity is shaped by the interests, resistances, and aspirations of the participating youth.
YOUNGSTERS also provides a production framework for the collective and/or individual creations of its members: Youness Khoukhou, Anika Edström Kawaji, Marie Goudot, Robin Haghi, Michaël Pomero, and Thomas Vantuycom.
Beginning their careers in the 20th century with Maurice Béjart, Marie and Michaël’s trajectories as performers diverged when they collaborated with Russell Maliphant in London in the early 2000s.
Both later collaborated closely with Anne Teresa De Keersmaeker / Rosas, taking part between 2007 and 2023 in numerous creations (The Song, Cesena, Vortex Temporum, Mitten 6Cellosuiten, Così fan tutte…), museum and site-specific performances (Work/Travail/Arbeid, 5Agon…), and research projects (A ToolBox).
Their individual and collective work has also been enriched by collaborations with artists and choreographers such as Pierre Droulers, Chrysa Parkinson, John Jasperse, Mark Lorimer, Ictus, Christine De Smedt, Gilles Amalvi, and Ula Sickle, among others.
They are both members of the faculty and teaching staff at P.A.R.T.S. (2016–2025), contributing actively to the school’s pedagogical development.
Their teaching practice also extends to CNSMD Paris, Charleroi Danse, CN D Pantin, CN D Lyon, KASK, IRCAM, and various international workshops including Impulstanz, Camping, Summerschool, and the Darmstadt Neue Musik Festival.
Marie is currently part of the team responsible for the Master’s Program at P.A.R.T.S., while Michaël is a member of a research group on diversity in higher dance education in Europe (P.A.R.T.S., La Manufacture, SKH, University of Amsterdam), whose report Dancing With was published in 2025.
Since 2022, Marie and Michaël have focused on finding a balance between collective research and creations (continuously questioning the notion of a single author) and the breaking down of boundaries between artistic practices and audiences.
Their artistic practice is rooted in the relationship between subject(s), space, and constraint.
These relationships generate ephemeral constellations, opening spaces to compose, transform, inhabit, and share. Stimulated by the body’s relation to its environment, movement emerges from listening and encounter with forms of alterity — sounds, texts, objects, presences.
Movement is conceived not as a direct expression of the self, but as a response to what acts upon the body — a translation of what traverses, displaces, and alters it.
Such frameworks aim to decenter perception — from those who act toward those who receive.
In 2024, they created Ghost Trance Sessions with Sophia Dinkel, Mark Lorimer, and Kobe Van Cauwenberghe, a performance gathering six musicians and four dancers for the Ictus Ensemble, embracing the holistic music of Anthony Braxton.
In 2025, they created Passé sous silence with the Youngsters collective and the students of the “District” class of the École Plurielle Maritime de Molenbeek, presented at the Théâtre National Wallonie-Bruxelles as part of the festival À la scène comme à la ville.
Their latest duet, Partager le Vide , created with Sophia Dinkel, Frédérique Jarabo, Julien Monty, Tom Pauwels, and Quentin Maes, was presented at CN D Pantin in October 2024, CNDC Angers, La Ménagerie de Verre, and KaaiStudios (in co-presentation with Kaaitheater / Charleroi Danse) in 2025, and at TAP Poitiers during the À Corps Festival in 2026.
Their upcoming creation, After Hannibal , in collaboration with Julien Monty, Christine De Smedt, and Gilles Amalvi, will premiere at Les Brigittines on March 20–21, 2026, followed by performances at the Palais de Tokyo on April 10–11, 2026, presented by CN D Hors les Murs.
They are also preparing A nameless response a solo performance imbued with the exhibition of Nairy Baghramian for WIELS, to be performed in situ on February 7–8, 2026.
In parallel, they are developing Be fore, There fore , a transdisciplinary performance for the 2026–27 season, in collaboration with composer and musician Eva Reiter, visual artist Nikolaus Gansterer, and Julien Monty..
