In 2024, Manon Andral worked with the Ate9 Company, choreographer Danielle Agami, and around various collaborations with colleagues and fellow dancers (Isidora Markovic, Matthias Vaucher), as well as developing her own artistic research and teaching. Throughout 2025, she was commissioned as a choreographer for the opera Hänsel and Gretel.
