Based in Friche la Belle de Mai in Marseille, France, Christine Bouvier and Rochdy Laribi are the founders of ORNIC’ART (2002 – ), an interdisciplinary collective of urban performers, and RedPlexus (2007 – ), a structure dedicated to the development and dissemination of performance and writing in public spaces. Through their work they aim to create opportunities for collective performance and mentorship for emerging artists focussed on physical training, research, voice presence, identity, and emotion.
