I'm Marie-Therese Ghosn, a theatre director, choreographer and performer
About
I am a passionate theater practitioner, performer, and choreographer based in Beirut, Lebanon. I use movement and storytelling to bring social and personal stories to life, exploring themes of identity, memory, and power through the body.
I create unique performances and collaborate across different disciplines to bring new ideas to the stage. As a dedicated teacher of movement, dance, and acting, I inspire creativity through workshops that help others connect with their bodies as tools for storytelling, self-expression, and exploration. I strive to create a safe and inclusive space where everyone feels empowered to explore, express, and embrace their authentic selves.
My style
My artistic style is vibrant and expressive, combining movement, storytelling, and devising tools to create performances that leave a lasting impact. I integrate theater techniques and choreography to craft narratives that are both visually and emotionally powerful.
Dynamic Movements and Captivating Stories
My artistic practice is a dynamic fusion of choreography, storytelling, and devising tools. My academic background in theater acting and dance has shaped my approach to the dancing body, encouraging me to explore movement beyond traditional methods. I believe that every individual has a unique story and an inherent way of moving, which is why I combine movement and storytelling in my work. I enjoy collaborating with performers, whether dancers or actors, to explore and express these unique narratives. Rooted in the socio-political impact on our lives, I see movement as a celebration of life and its complexities.
My work
What I do
Whether you're looking for a classic theatrical production or a unique, contemporary performance, I will bring your vision to life on stage.
I create engaging productions that bring stories to life on stage. Drawing on script interpretation, acting, and the process of devising, I use physical theater and dance tools to craft performances that feel both grounded and dynamic. My focus is on collaborating closely with performers, shaping their work in a way that connects deeply with the audience. From the initial concept to the final performance, I immerse myself in every detail, ensuring that each production leaves a lasting, meaningful impression.
From contemporary, modern, and traditional dance techniques to organic movement and movement dramaturgy, I craft expressive and unique choreography that speaks to a specific theme and tells stories through movement. Whether it’s a dramatic scene or an energetic performance, my work brings depth, energy, and meaning to every step, creating a powerful connection between the dancers and the audience.
As a performer, I channel dedication into every role, with the greatest joy found in collaborating with fellow artists who share a passion for creation and performance. The true pleasure comes from connecting with others on stage and sharing that energy and passion with the audience.
I work closely with other creatives to bring unique visions to life, collaborating with artists and performers on a wide range of projects, from teaching and performing to creating new works. I am flexible and open to sharing practices and ideas, embracing collaboration to produce meaningful and impactful theatrical experiences. Whether through tailored workshops or custom productions, I value the opportunity to work together and create something truly special.
