Marie Astier is an artist and researcher. In 2018, she presented her performance art thesis titled Presence and representation of mental disability on the contemporary French stage. She is now mainly interested in the question of practices shared by disabled and non-disabled actors (including workshops supported by the Théâtre National Wallonie-Bruxelles, the inclusive school troupe initiated by the Théâtre de la Colline and tutorials at Arras University).
