BIOGRAPHY
Cathy Ematchoua combines her two passions, dance and cinema, through projects in the audiovisual sector (feature films, commercials, music videos, musical shows).
In her projects, her touch is recognizable! A language centered around organic movement, breathing, and the precision of gesture.
Her experience as a dancer for thirteen years and ten years as a choreographer and director allows her to understand the technique, vocabulary, constraints, and challenges related to a film set.
Alongside her Cinema degree at Paris XVIII University, she obtained her Jazz EAT at AID (International Academy of Dance). She practices martial arts (Penchak Silat, French Boxing, MMA, and Systema), but drawn to the art of film, she later trained at the CEFPF (European Center for Film Production Training) as a documentary and short fiction director, script supervisor, actor direction, and more recently, screenwriting at Groupe Ouest.
Her collaborations include artists such as USHER, M.I.A, Christine And The Queens, Lucy Boynton, Elle Fanning, Cassius… and luxury brands like Hermès, Lanvin, YSL, Givenchy, Miu Miu, Lacoste, Chaumet, Dom Pérignon, Balenciaga fashion show… the show The Lion King, and projects where she has creative freedom for Nowness, titled Crave and Chimera.
She is the founder of the Ateliers Expressions Corporelles, which she teaches to all audiences to raise awareness, awaken, and accept one’s body in its most authentic state without self-perception or judgment of others.
