Marie Goudot and Michael Pomero have been active in the European choreographic scene for 25 years, whether as performers (with Rosas, Pierre Droulers, Ula Sickle, Boris Charmatz, Russell Maliphant, Béjart Ballet, Opera de Lyon...), assistants (to Anne Teresa de Keersmaeker), choreographers (within Loge 22), or teachers (P.A.R.T.S., CNSMD de Paris, KASK, Impulstanz, etc.).

Based in Brussels since 2010 after working in Switzerland, France, and England, they were first welcomed by Charleroi danse with their collective Loge 22 in artistic and administrative residency. Between 2005 and 2016, they created 12 choreographic pieces and performances that toured Europe, notably thanks to the European artistic gathering platform SPIDER, which they co-founded.

After a long collaboration with Anne Teresa de Keersmaeker as a dancer and/or assistant for the creation of seven choreographic pieces (The Song, Vortex temporum, Mitten...), an opera, a musical, as well as all of Rosas’ museum and in situ experiences (Work/Travail/Arbeid, Somnia, 5Agon...), and a career as teachers at the P.A.R.T.S. Faculty, Marie and Michael wish to relaunch their personal choreographic research and settle in the FWB region.

To this end, in 2022 they co-founded the non-profit organization YOUNGSTERS, initially conceived as a platform bringing together international artists based in Brussels who are committed to artistic encounters with young people in Brussels in all their diversity.

As fervent advocates of the concept of collective intelligence, as evidenced by their past and present activities (the Loge 22 collective, the SPIDER platform, Rhizome, a residency and transmission space in Lyon, Youngsters Asbl, Erasmus+ European research on diversity in higher education in dance in Europe, etc.), Marie and Michael are once again engaging in collective work.
