Marine Robquin

Floor acrobatic

France



Born in 2000 in Paris, Marine grew up in an environment sensitive to art and performance, with a dancer mother and an amateur musician father.

From a very young age, she began her artistic journey through continuous practice of contemporary dance, which she later enriched starting in 2015 by training in acrobatic techniques. She was admitted to the Georges Brassens high school with a dual curriculum in the 19th arrondissement of Paris, where she worked on combining these two practices: the dynamism of acrobatics and the fluidity of dance movement.

In 2019, she joined a preparatory circus school, LeZartiCirque. Leaving Paris, she moved to higher ground and settled in a small Swiss town surrounded by mountains. There, she deepened her training as an acro-dancer and discovered her love for big tops and collective creation.

Two years later, she was admitted to the 36th class of the Centre National des Arts du Cirque (CNAC) in Châlons-en-Champagne. She continued to develop both her technique—based mainly on grounding, torsion, and explosiveness—and her acrobatic writing, exploring in particular her relationship to the floor and the use of distinctive gestures.

With her cohort, as part of her training at CNAC, she had the opportunity to perform with Garniouze Inc. at the Furies festival, to take part in the repertory revival Tout est bien directed by Nikolaus from Cie Pré-O-Coupé, and to collaborate with Martin Palisse in Écritures croisées, performed at the Circa festival in 2023.

Although she currently works in a solo discipline, Marine is joining forces with three of her fellow students to co-found, upon graduating, a collective combining acrobatics, partner work, Chinese pole, and live music.
