Born in 1967 in Bourges, attached to Brittany. She lives and works in Paris and New Zealand (permanent resident since 1996).
Performer (dance, theater, voice), choreographer and director, she is the author of several NZ award winning pieces, tuning the text to the perception/integration of movement (body, stage furniture, lights, sound and virtual landscapes). Without genre bias, her experience also includes musical theater, opera, street theater, radio, film, television and concerts.
Stimulated by research, director and visual artist, France regularly collaborates in performative projects -in situ- with painters, architects, poets, musicians, art galleries and museums. She is resolutely interested in moments where disciplines and techniques combine, respond to each other and, through play, reinvent their contours.
France has led several workshops on the 'Performative Body', since the creation of Via Ferrata in 2016. She currently teaches at the Ecole Supérieure de Théâtre d'Asnières ESCA.
The Beaux-Arts de Paris is pleased to partner with POUSH for the Felicità exhibition outside the walls, for the second consecutive year. Felicità Au milieu des Choses brings together thirty-five Félicités artists in 2020 and 2021. The works imagined to take over the 1 800 square meters of POUSH in Aubervilliers are the result of a collective work.
A program of animations and performances will punctuate this festive day.
The group exhibition à partir de là brings together the works of 21 young artists. What happens from there?
Thanks to the different paths that cross the Centre d'art contemporain Chanot, the exhibition invites us to pay attention in a different way to the multiple resonances and links that are created and then unraveled between the works, the artists, the public and the curators.

Baalbek, an emblematic site on the Bekaa plain in northeastern Lebanon, attracted two young architects in the 19th century who were residents of the French Academy in Rome: Achille Joyau and Gaston Redon.
As part of their "Envois", exercises imposed on the winners of the Prix de Rome in which they had to propose a restoration of an ancient monument, they drew with watercolors and rendered with scrupulous fidelity the beauty of these ruins surrounded by high walls and the arid and mountainous environment that surrounds them. The twenty-five unpublished works presented in this exhibition are unique testimonies of the archaeological site which was not excavated until 1898.
The site of Baalbek remains to this day a major archaeological jewel of Lebanon.
Admired by Lamartine, Châteaubriand and Flaubert, Baalbek, an emblematic site of the Bekaa plain in Lebanon, attracted in the 19th century two young architects who were then boarders at the French Academy in Rome - Villa Medici: Achille Joyau in 1865 and Gaston Redon in 1887. As part of their "Envois", school exercises imposed on the Prix de Rome laureates, they were given the task of studying an ancient monument and proposing a restitution, i.e. a restoration.
Joyau and Redon decided to venture out of Rome and discover this mythical place in Lebanon. Before reaching it, they each made long journeys by caravan or on horseback, crossing difficult roads and staying, depending on their route, in Alexandria, Cairo, Memphis, Jerusalem, Damascus or even Smyrna.
Celebrated for its gigantism, Baalbek seduces by the originality of its Greco-Roman architecture enriched with Semitic and Oriental elements. The stays of Joyau and Redon, which varied between five and ten months, allowed them to draw up a precise state of the ancient monuments through superb watercolor sketches. Their drawings reflect with scrupulous fidelity the beauty of these ruins surrounded by high walls, but also the arid environment that surrounds them with the high mountains of the Anti-Lebanon in the background.
Their approach, close to that of an archaeologist, carefully restores the numerous buildings that made up the sanctuary, as well as their various architectural elements, including the layout of the walls, the entablatures and the capitals of the columns. To this description is added the sensitivity of the artists towards the materials used, the vegetation that invades the ruins in a disorderly manner, the bright blue sky.
The graphic qualities of these works reveal the watercolor talents of these young architects and are unique testimonies of the site of Baalbek, which only had its first archaeological excavations in 1898.

At the initiative of the Beaux-Arts de Paris, Felicità Milieu des choses invites the thirty-five artists Felicità 2020 and 2021 of the Beaux-Arts de Paris to offer a very personal reading of the environment and its edges, on a proposal by the artist and curator Thomas Fougeirol.
"Each artist is a milieu around which multiple ecosystems gravitate, the result of a personal history and different socio-cultural contexts. How sensitive are we to other environments, to others in their environments? The world is full of objects and connections are made at lightning speed, the artist must slow down to make other things, other events with a deep and intimate resonance. The skin, the texture of these things and performances are like drums, they materialize deep sounds.
If some artists think of the thing as a target to be reached by planting its arrow in its middle, others explore its edges." Thomas Fougeirol
Organized outside the walls, the exhibition Felicità Milieu des choses is the result of a collective work. The works and performances have been imagined to take over the large 1,800 m2 plateau of POUSH in Aubervilliers.
A publication accompanies the exhibition.
