Maëva Berthelot is a choreographer, performer, movement director and teacher whose mode of working unfolds along the threshold between experimental, performative and collaborative approaches.

After graduating from the Conservatoire National Supérieur de Paris in 2003, she has collaborated with choreographers such as Emanuel Gat, Ohad Naharin, Sharon Eyal, Damien Jalet, Roberta Jean and Léo Lerus among others and spent six years as a senior member with Hofesh Shechter Company, contributing creatively as an original member in numerous pieces and as a teacher & rehearsal director.


Maëva Berthelot conceives the body as a sensitive receptacle - a bearer of the echoes of individual, familial, and collective memory.
Deeply informed by somatic and improvisational techniques, her choreographic research explores themes of consciousness and liminality - realm of thresholds, passages and metamorphosis - and finds its roots in a movement practice which explores the multiple layers of the body as well as the invisible systems to which it belongs and with which it interacts.

Berthelot embeds her approach within a fluid and dialogic framework, engaging with a wide array of artists and musicians and fostering the emergence of hybrid projects that challenge forms and seek to blur the boundaries between artistic disciplines.
Her cross-genre partnerships include figures such as as Coby Sey, Brìghde Chaimbeul, Latifa Echakhch, Maxwell Sterling and Kenichi Iwasa, Torkwase Dyson, Céleste Rogosin, Vimala Pons and Nhu Xuan Hua among others.

Berthelot is currently collaborating with Ola Maciejewska, Oona Doherty and Colette Sadler.
