“Dance first, think after” is Aurélie Garnier’s motto, and it's something that spills over into her joyful, carefree animated work—red-haired, vibrant women dance freely on the screen to the beat of their own drum.

We spoke to Aurelie about her unapologetic GIFS, and how she seeks to empower women through her work.
“These women are my flaming alter ego.”
