Sophie Melis

Born in Liège in 1989, Sophie Melis is a dancer and performer, choreographer, and event organizer. After spending several years training abroad, she now lives in Brussels where she is an active member of Artist Commons, a self-managed community that brings together artists, dancers, and performers around access to studios and the community.

The artist has a significant anchor point in this city, where various performative and collaborative projects have emerged, notably “You Can Call Me Page” (2018-2019), a durational performance in which the boundaries between audience and performers blur in a party where no one is a prisoner...

In general, Sophie is interested in social dance, the kind that brings people together and elevates them. She has a passion for collaborations of all kinds, a reasonable ambition to reduce working hours for everyone, and a dream of making life sweeter through performance. Improvisation holds a central place in her dance practice.

Recently, Sophie has been a performer in “Ne Mosquito Pas” by Simon Van Schuylenbergh and collaborated on the choreography for “Une tentative presque comme une autre” by Clément and Guillaume Papachristou.
