She studied at P.A.R.T.S., the school of choreography and dance in Brussels directed by Anne Teresa De Keersmaeker, and has performed her own work at theatres and festivals across Europe. FRANKIE worked with the artist Anne Imhof on the performances Deal (2015), Rage (2015), and Angst (2017), Nature Mortes (2021) FAUST (2017), which was awarded the Golden Lion at the 2017 Venice Biennale, as well as Nature Morte (2021). She performed and co-wrote the music to FAUST, which was released on PAN in 2019. In 2019 she joined Holly Herndon’s vocal ensemble, performing the album PROTO around the world. FRANKIE continues to work and perform with Anne Imhof, and with artists such as the choreographer William Forsythe and the filmmaker Austin Jack Lynch. In 2021, her debut record STYX was released on Shadow World/Bedroom Community, which she is since then performing internationally. In 2020 she completed her PhD at the Centre for Research in Modern European Philosophy (CRMEP), London on the topic of Kant and Technics. She is currently an instructor in philosophy at the New Centre for Research and Practice and her monograph on Kant and technics is forthcoming with Bloomsbury Press.
