After studying engineering and starting his career as a quantitative analyst in finance, Pierre Godard first worked in the theatre as an electrician, props technician, stage manager and assistant director. He now devotes himself to the search for performative forms involving movement and text, which try to offer a space of emancipation to the spectator. At the same time, he has just defended a thesis in Artificial Intelligence at LIMSI-CNRS aimed at supporting an effort to document unwritten and endangered languages.

Since the creation of their company Le principe d'incertitude (LPDi) in 2011, Liz Santoro and Pierre Godard have been collaborating closely together to build choreographic machines that try to thwart the habits of our attention. The singularity of their respective paths has led them to develop systems of creation centered on movement and text which, by revealing their underlying processes - mechanisms of power and seduction, organization of the social space, operating modes of the nervous system - offer the spectator an experience of a perceptual interaction where looking becomes an action that provokes a reaction. Their work has been presented in France, Europe, North America and Asia. They have created various group pieces, We Do Our Best (2012), Relative Collider (2014), For Claude Shannon (2016), Maps (2017), Noisy Channels (2018, 2019), Stereo (2019) as well as in situ pieces such as Watch It (2012), Quarte (2014), FCS Redux (2017, 2018), Mass over Volume (2017) and Learning (2018, 2019). Watch It received a Bessie Award in 2013 in the category "Outstanding Production for a work at the forefront of contemporary dance".
