Marion Muzac

Marion Muzac studied ballet at the Conservatory, then earned a university degree in commerce and communication.

She studied Merce Cunningham’s technique in New York, then went on to the Choreographic Development Centre in Toulouse. She taught contemporary dance at the Toulouse Conservatory, the CDC and the ISDAT advanced school of the arts.

In September 2013, she was named dance department head of the Conservatory of Toulouse. Since 2001, she has juggled her educational work with choreographic projects. She has collaborated with visual artists and theater and opera directors, and worked with young actors from L’Atelier at the Théâtre National de Toulouse.

In 2008, she created the dance duet and music for “Hero Hero,” which is regularly presented in elementary, middle and high schools.

In 2010, she and artist Rachel Garcia co-directed “Le sucre du printemps,” a choreographic project for 27 collaborating young dancers. After Toulouse, “Le sucre du printemps” was recreated in Düsseldorf; at the Chaillot National Theatre in Paris; in collaboration with the Pantin National Dance Center; and most recently in Ramallah, Palestine.

Following that work, she and filmmaker Sophie Laloy codirected the documentary film « 17 Printemps », on the initiatory journey of a 17-year-old dancer crossing the threshold into the adult world by way of the dance.
