He has worked, among others, with Boris Charmatz, Thierry Smits, Olivia Granville, Helge Letonja, Ashley Chen, John Scott and Thomas Lebrun. Passionate about music, he is the founder and percussionist of the trio Dazlamm , and has collaborated with Atelier Terre et Son, a French manufacturer of udus.

In 2024, he joined the teaching team at Pont Supérieur in Nantes as a tutor and teacher for preparatory classes for the Technical Aptitude Examination (E.A.T.). 

He has collaborated intensively, both in dance and in music, sometimes combining the two, in conventional spaces but also in national theaters, at the Louvre museum or the Tate Modern, as well as in more informal spaces, such as the submarine base of Saint-Nazaire, the scaffolded cathedral of Aquila or the burning immensity of the Sahara.
