Fiddle
with Adrien Coquelet

After 6 years with him, and numerous internships with brilliant fiddlers such as Gerry O'connor, Paul O'Shau gnessy, Niall Murphy, and Seamus McGuire, Adrien chose to pass on his knowledge and experience of music of oral tradition.
Passionate pedagogue and accomplished musician (The Britons, The Hitchhikers to Dublin), he carries the values of the most famous traditional musicians of Ireland: virtuosity and simplicity.

Irish dance
with Marie
Initiated very early to the performing arts and mainly to the dance, Marie took her first steps on stage at the age of 7 years. It is through the municipal dance schools around Arras that she learnt the basics and techniques of classical dance, modern jazz and contemporary.
From 2010 to 2013, she discovers Irish dance and undertakes a series of internships under the supervision of Sarah Clark (former dancer of Lord of the Dance). In 2014, Marie joined the Sarah Clark Academy of Irish Dancing and took part in the same year at the European Irish Dance Championships in The Hague. She will bring back some trophies and medals. From now on, Marie imagines the choreography and leads the dance on the pieces of The Hitchhikers to Dublin. Pushed by her desire to create and transmit, she runs an Irish dance in soft shoes and hard shoes in Lille.
