About Her
Born in Nouvelle-Calédonie, Annabel Guérédrat bridges academic knowledge and embodied practice. Trained in literature, history, dance, and somatic practices, she crafts a language of movement rooted in memory, resistance, and Caribbean territories. Her works are part of major contemporary performance scenes in France, the Caribbean, and internationally. Conceived for demanding spaces — museums, festivals, national stages, alternative venues, or open-air sites — her performances summon the body, memory, spirituality, radical ecofeminism, and social commitment.
bridging Western ways of knowing and corporeal practices rooted in the Global South
Annabel charts a singular path by weaving together different worlds. On one hand, a rigorous academic background in modern literature and contemporary African history at the Sorbonne; on the other, deep immersion in diverse corporeal and spiritual practices: butoh, ladja, Body-Mind Centering®, pilates, yoga, kyudo, Afro-Brazilian and contemporary dance.
This interweaving of disciplines allows her to develop a unique artistic language—one that merges introspection, embodied memory, and choreographed ritual gestures.
as a territory of rituals
Annabel uses performance as a sacred and embodied act. Her body becomes an offering — a site of transformation, healing, and resistance. Her actions draw on Afro-Caribbean spiritual traditions (orishas, baths, invocations), weaving the intimate and the political.
and Caribbean Ecofeminism
Inspired by modern witches (Valeska Gert, Nina Hagen, Princess Nokia…), she creates her own performative entities: the bruja, Oxun, Mami Sargassa… Mythical, critical, and militant figures that reinvent the role of the Black woman in Caribbean history.
of a Territory and a Scene
Founder of the company Artincidence and of FIAP Martinique, Annabel is deeply rooted in a collective and territorial dynamic. She performs in connection with the mangrove, sargassum, ravines… but also with marginalized communities (in prisons, prostitution networks, educational and medical institutions…).
Inner Resonances…
.
Each performance is a crossing. Through movement, ritual, and symbolic gestures, Annabel Guérédrat traverses territories—those of the body, of memory, of identity and resistance. Her portfolio reveals a constellation of works rooted in the Caribbean, engaged in ecofeminist, decolonial and spiritual thought. This selection invites you to explore an embodied art of rupture, healing, and transformation.
