Maryline Mattè started dancing at the age of 6. At 11, she began dancing more and more hours and dance literally became her passion. From her teenage years, she went every year to international workshops which were extremely enriching and opened the way to contemporary dance for her, in addition to deepening other disciplines. At 20, she began physical training at the Royal Conservatory of Dramatic Art of Liège as a free student. She took the opportunity to attend several theatre workshops that showed her the art of the stage from a different angle. At 21, she took on a series of small dance jobs to get stage experience and spent two seasons at the Trianon with some dancers from the Opéra Royal de Wallonie.

In 2002, she landed the role of Anita in the musical “West Side Story” at the Cirque Royal in Brussels (dance and theatre adaptation).

That same year, she went to Paris to complete her training in classical, jazz and contemporary dance and soon began teaching at the Conservatoire Régional de Sens.

In 2003, the director of the conservatories of the 4 departments of Burgundy offered her the head of the jazz department at the Conservatoire National d’Auxerre. She taught there until her departure in 2005.

In 2004, she landed a role in a contemporary creation in Paris, with Valérie Scannella’s company, while continuing her theatre training at the Sens conservatory.

The following year, her teacher in Paris, Valérie Scannella (a former dancer with the Nancy ballet), entrusted her classes to her at Studio Harmonic.

Back in Belgium at the end of 2005, she had to start almost from scratch.

She began working occasionally at the Opéra Royal de Wallonie, notably in Faust and Nabucco, but her interests increasingly led her toward teaching, which she found more fulfilling than anything else.

In 2011, she began training in the Gasquet method in “Abdos Autrement” and “Stretch-yoga” and deepened her knowledge of the Postural-Respiratory Approach with Sandro Zatta.

At PATIO, Maryline teaches classical and contemporary dance, jazz technique, as well as barre à terre and Core-Yoga classes.

Born on 23 October 1984 in Belgium, Samuel Delvaux received multidisciplinary training at various private schools in Liège, Namur and Brussels.

He refined his training with the young dancers’ company “Passerelles 03” based in Brussels, then a year later joined the “ITDansa” company in Barcelona, where he worked for two years.

Samuel then went on to work as a soloist in various state theatres across Europe, dancing the works of world-renowned choreographers including Jiří Kylián, Wim Vandekeybus, Peter Zuska, Nacho Duato, Jochen Heckmann and Ohad Naharin.

From 2009, he began working as a freelance dancer and collaborated with around ten contemporary companies such as Gelabert-Azzopardi in Barcelona, Philipp Egli in Zurich, Michel Kelemenis in Marseille, Sylvain Groud in Paris, as well as with European theatres such as the Opéra Comique in Paris, the Théâtre National de Catalunya and the Staatstheater Linz in Austria, to name just a few.

In 1985, upon her return from the US, she founded her company and the first contemporary dance centre in Brussels: “Flagrant Délit”. Within this framework, she developed her work as a choreographer and teacher.

Drawing on her stage expertise, she has choreographed for opera and coached actors, dancers, circus performers and musicians.

For many years, her reputation as a teacher of the Limon technique has led her to teach all over the world, within the framework of several professional companies and at dance colleges and universities as a guest or appointed teacher.

Michèle teaches the teacher-training programmes at PATIO.
