Biography

Annabel Guérédrat

Annabel Guérédrat is a choreographer, performer, researcher and “bruja”, or Caribbean witch. She is also a practitioner of Body-Mind Centering, a somatic practice that enables her to write organic performances fusing the intimate and the political. Her main field of interest is the political body and the social stance of Black and mixed-race women in the Caribbean; as well as grungy ecofeminism and dark ecology, through the toxic sargassum seaweed that regularly washes up on the Atlantic coast of Martinique, and in which she buries herself for “care” rituals. In parallel to her creative work, she runs dance-based outreach actions for prostitutes and prisoners and in educational, medical and socio-humanitarian settings. With visual artist Henri Tauliaut, she co-founded and co-curates the International Festival of Performance Art (FIAP) in Martinique.
