As a kaleidoscopic performer, Roxane was invited to join the performance creation by choreographer Agostina d'Alessandro, commissioned by the centre Présence Compositrices and performed in Marseille (Festival Mars en baroque), and in Brussels (Brigittines).

|Own projects]

She is interested in developing her own projects in which there is room for  creativity and collaboration.

With her best friend, she co-created Collectif Arnold 
a company dedicated to strange operatic performances in unusual places for curious audiences. They created a performance of Die Zauberflöte in Ein Haus pour Bienne, combined with mediation interventions in schools.

Passionate about the transformative power of true communication, she follows Non-Violent Communication trainings and creates in 2023 her first talking circle for men.

She lives successively in Texas, Rome, and Berlin and learns languages this way.
