In 2012, she began to work with Maud Le Pladec ("Democracy", "Concrete") and she completed her Masters in dance and choreography at the CNDC of Angers which she graduated in 2013. During her training at the CNDC of Angers she created “KOROWOD”, a piece rewarded during the second edition of the Danse élargie contest (organized by the Danse Museum and Théâtre de la Ville in Paris). Korowod is inspired by a traditional Russian dance executed in group; which Mutant Stage 4 is an adaptation.
