There she creates her first performances of dance, combining her sculpture-objects with professional dancers (1996: Coco (Orlando) Diaz). The close collaboration with Christian Archambeau, video artist and musician living in Paris, allows her to create several short videos and performances between 1996 and 2000 (Danse en 3 temps, Danse avec le temps, Yoshu I and II, The last laugh (co-created with Victoria Oldham), le déserteur d'Amour, PASSAGE, Cochon).
