Born in 1974 in Noumea, New Caledonia, Annabel Gueredrat lives and works in Martinique.
She is a choreographer, dancer, performer, researcher, and "bruja", and is also a practitioner of body-mind centering, a somatic practice that allows her to write feminist, organic (eco/afro) performances, where the intimate and the political are increasingly linked. Annabel Gueredrat's three major performances, inspired by modern witch figures, are: A freak show for S, Hysteria and I'm a bruja.
She is co-director with H. Tauliaut, her life partner, of the International Festival of Performance Art (@FIAP Martinique). Together they have created 4 performative worlds: aqua, iguana, afropunk and technochaman, as well as the performance art laboratories, which take place every two months since 2017. They practice their performances in the middle of nature with other artists at the savane des petrifications in the extreme south of Martinique. In parallel to her creation, she has always led dance actions in the midst of prostitution, prison, education, medical and socio-humanitarian.
Today she works at s.o.s maternité and Kap Caraïbes for the LGBTQI community. Finally, in 2012, she opened a new project around black feminism by creating the trio Women, part two: you might think I'm crazy but I'm serious, with Ghyslaine Gau and Ana Pi. Her questions were about the political body and the social posture of Black and Mixed race women on the stage. In 2021, a continuation of this trio is planned: WOMEN, PART3, with Ghyslaine Gau and Ana Pi in the form of a performative exhibition to empower other women of the community.
