Mellina Boubetra

After studying Medical Biology, Mellina Boubetra decided to pursue her exploration of the body through dance and creation. With this background and a desire to analyze new areas of research that she founded ETRA in 2017, while continuing her work as a performer for other project leaders such as Andrew Skeels, Dyptik, Régine Chopinot, and more recently, Alvise Sinivia. She organizes her practice on letting her attention circulate, allowing personal forms to emerge, developing her responsiveness, appreciating details, and above all, having a lot of fun.
