In her first film, she was the one dancing, and whenever she gets the chance, she combines both disciplines.

It's a wonderful research lab. She qualifies her effects as archaic, which allow her to create peculiar tensions and momentums, for choreography imagined for and by the camera. When she's solicited by the advertising world, she speaks of ethnological experiments; Marie-Jo long prefers a more handcrafted, last-minute approach (but where she chooses her team) which spawns a glamorous world touched up on Photoshop, troubled by the hustle and bustle and cheap icons. A world taken over by the derogatory and appearances.
She says: "One must at least try to describe what one can't change. If that isn't optimistic..."
