After a brief spell at Sciences Po Paris, Noémie Makota decided to devote herself to the dramatic arts, and joined the Conservatoire à rayonnement départemental de Poitiers, before enrolling in the "Performing Arts" course at the University of Poitiers. Her discovery of contact dance at the University of Poitiers' choreographic research workshop, directed by Isabelle Lamothe, marked a turning point in her approach to the body, which for her became a tool for thinking and reading the world. She took part in the creation of the piece Brow to brow by Gaëlle Bourges for the "À Corps" festival in Poitiers in 2016, then danced in The bath (2018) and LAURA' Gang (2021). This collaboration opens up personal, artistic and political questions about the body and its modes of representation. With a keen interest in theatrical anthropology, Noémie spent two years at the École du Jeu (Paris). Thanks to her encounter with Jean-Yves Pénafiel, she also ventured into the field of the spoken and sung voice, as well as music. She has also completed a degree in cinema at the Université de Paris 1 Panthéon-Sorbonne, and has been training in Qi Gong for several years.
