"The magic, the wonder."

A passionate drawer with little attendance in his art school, feeling the call, Romain took off and embraced a career as an urban dancer at the age of 19 and began to experiment choreography on stage, developing his own aesthetic and approach to storytelling through movement. With a tireless desire to learn and a multifaceted inventiveness, when not on stage, Romain spent his free time writing stories, learning from technical crews on tours to developed new skills such as sound design, light design and set design. 2005 He creates MAM, a Scandinavian - French contemporary dance company. He choreographs, teaches, produces, writes, directs and together with his dancers wins international competitions. He also works as a judge for the French Channel TF1.

"Poetry and visuals that rock!"

 

Transcendent stories which move and create awareness, Romain has develop his own creative signature of expressing concerns over pressing issues such as climate change and social injustice. Passionate about the art of filming, he developed a unique cinematic style on stage leading him to create pieces such as the HBO - Leftovers / Damon Lindelof's tribute in Paris Grand Rex, the 20th anniversary of the HBO series "The Wire" as well as multiple Film festivals opening ceremonies, a path naturally leading him to camera work.

''Driven by the core feeling that it is always time to positively impact the world."
