Today, Marie Gourdain has five pieces in the collective's repertoire: UN (2016), in which she performs alongside Florent Golfier, LEGOrytmus (2017), Medúza (2018), Mu---Tation (2021) and Icarus (2021). In 2020, Marie Gourdain also completed the continuing education programme for choreographers, Édition Spéciale #4, at the CND and received the first Caroline-Neubers-Scholarship international grant from the city of Leipzig for her choreographic work. In 2021, she created the company Matière Mobile in Lyon and relocated to France. In 2022, she created Seismic in co-creation with Felix Baumann between France, Germany and the Czech Republic. Her work has been presented on numerous international stages and festivals.
