Fanny Brouyaux is a dancer-performer and choreographer from Brussels. She develops choreographic projects that tend to decompartmentalize different artistic languages and their audiences. Through figures and archetypal characters or presences, she creates shows at the crossroads of dance, theater, and performance.

After her studies at P.A.R.T.S., she created site-specific performances in a collective with, among others, Christian Schreur, a minimalist pianist-composer, and the performance “Un bruit” as part of the commemoration of the 50th anniversary of Moroccan immigration to Belgium, with the collaboration of sound artist Yann Leguay. She founded her company “Too Moved to Talk” in 2018, and created “De la poésie, du sport, etc.,” a journey of female emancipation in collaboration with the actress and performer Sophie Guisset, and the show “Warm,” a performance of body and objects deconstructing the gestures of first aid with the collaboration of clown-dancer Florian Vuille and set designer-performer David Séchaud.

As a dancer, she has worked with the Moroccan company Anania Danses of Taoufiq Izeddiou and for different Belgian companies with multiple approaches: physical theater (La peau de l’autre), urban contemporary (Abis), young public (Julie Bougard’s Nyash). Parallel to her work as a choreographer and dancer, she occasionally gives workshops and participates in various creations as an outside eye and a choreographic and/or dramaturgical advisor.

She also danced in pediatrics for the association “Le pont des arts” and was one of the organizers and programmers of Caméléon festival, a festival around multiple identities, organized in Charleroi in October 2017.

Fanny Brouyaux is an Onassis AiR Fellow for 2023/24 in the framework of Grand Luxe Network. Onassis Stegi’s participation in the network is developed as part of its Outward Turn Program initiatives.
