Clarinde’s work moves between choreography, film and performance, tracing the porous frontiers where the human and non-human meet. Central to her practice is the belief that the body is not a closed system but a permeable. She does not choreograph on the site but with it, listening to forces that lie just beyond language, forces that shift our sense of time, orientation and belonging.

She approaches movement as a shared lexicon, a mode of dialogue with the more-than-human. Her work questions how attention can open us to new alliances with life forms usually overlooked. The accidental contact of an ant, the pulse of water through a brook, the sound of someone making coffee, these fleeting cues become anchors for embodied inquiry, grounding her choreographies in the sensorial and the ecological.

Her practice is an ongoing gesture toward attunement. With each work, she asks: what does it mean to move with, not through, the world?
