Laure is a French dance artist, performer, and choreographer based in London. She is interested in pushing the boundaries of performance by developing a practice that transcends dance by exploring her body, voice, experiences, and quirks. In parallel with her performer's career, she shares her passion for movement through teaching technique and creative classes to students of all ages. She is also a founding member of the performer-led RAW Collective, which embodies the complexity of human relationships with empathy and curiosity.
Laure is a graduate of the MA Dance: Performance programme at LCDS, where she was a member of the inaugural Cohort 01. During the programme she worked with project leaders such as Theo Clinkard, Jenna Jalonen, Hannes Langolf, Paleta, Benjamin Jonsson, AE Company (Aoi Nakamura & Esteban Lecoq), Edivaldo Ernesto, Horacio Macuacua, Jozef Frucek and Alexandra Reynolds under the course leadership of Tom English, Tina Afiyan Breiova and Dr Andrew Sanger and working closely with individual mentor Lucia Chocarro.

Having the opportunity to closely work with Hannes Langolf on meaning and movement was the highlight of the course for me. It made me realise that I could be more than just a dancer. It sparked my curiosity to explore other performative skills that I never thought myself capable of before.
