Marie-Claude Poulin is a choreographer and co-founder of kondition pluriel. Her work confronts the relationship between the body and technology in a very organic manner. Her choreographic language is made of multiple bodily states, showing the body in a perpetual process of reorganization.

Marie-Claude Poulin has developed an approach to the body founded on her practice in contemporary dance; her study and teaching of somatic-education techniques; and on her graduate-level studies in kinanthropology, where she analysed movement with respect to the nervous system.
