She works regularly at the Oper Frankfurt and develops her avant-gardist projects across various scenes in Europe.

At the age of 20, she founded her own company, bringing her productions to several theaters in Germany and France. Marion is constantly seeking unexpected collaborations, striving to make contemporary art and societal reflections more accessible.
Marion's work is deeply rooted in trauma-sensitive approaches to contemporary dance and physical contact. She emphasizes creating a safe and inclusive environment in her workshops, master classes, and auditions, ensuring that all participants feel respected and supported. Her unique vision of movement exploration is evident during her creative processes, where she collaborates with a diverse array of musicians, painters, engineers, and other inspiring individuals.
As a choreographer, Marion focuses on body contact exploration, integrating improvisation as a key element. She tailors her choreography to the unique qualities and personalities of the dancers in her team, paying careful attention to their individual strengths. Marion is particularly fascinated by the deconstruction of movement, transforming classical dance elements like arabesque, pirouette, and grand pliƩ into new and unexpected physical expressions. By pushing the boundaries of movement, she creates dynamic and surprising experiences for both the audience and the dancers, regardless of their contemporary or urban dance backgrounds. Her commitment to trauma-sensitive practices ensures that her work not only challenges artistic norms but also fosters healing and connection through dance.
