BIOGRAPHY
Audrey Merilus is a French artist of Afro-Caribbean descent based in Brussels.
Her artistic practice revolves around choreography, performance, curation, and dramaturgy.
She studied at the Conservatoire Régional de Paris (CRR) and continued her training at the Conservatoire National Supérieur de Musique et de Danse de Lyon (CNSMDL), before obtaining her bachelor’s degree in dance from the Training Cycle at P.A.R.T.S.

As an extension of her artistic journey, Audrey’s evolving practice has extended into curation.

She’s currently working on the second edition of COLLECTIVE MEMOERIES in Atelier 210 in Brussels (2025).
Recently, she has taken on the role of dramaturg for Stanley Ollivier’s upcoming work Spine of Desire: Wounds Without Tears, Out of One Skin in Diamonds and Shit (2025). She joined CROWD and will be collaborating with Gisèle Vienne, as a performer on her forthcoming production with Schauspielhaus Zürich (2026).
Audrey's ongoing journey merges diverse artistic practices and collaborations, establishing her as a dynamic actor in the international dance and performance scene.
