Born in Brussels, I trained in dance, theatre & music (69-76), completed a Masters in Visual Arts at La Cambre, Brussels (79-84), and moved to Australia in 1996. Co-artistic director of Igneous http://www.igneous.org.au, I created the multimedia projections for, and directed, most of its productions. I give lectures and workshops in Australia & Europe integrating video with performing arts & fostering multimedia artistic collaboration.

Since 2003, I am researching and developing networked performance, founding member of ActiveLayers, international cyberformance group. I participated to UpStage festivals, and DIAL (streaming event linking artists from 5 cities around the world) for which I organised the Brisbane node.

As a documenter, my photos are part of the State Library of NSW and the National Library of Australia collections and I started mapping the process of documenting performance http://tinyurl.com/documentation-maps
