Laure-Anne Segers was born in France and grew up in Lille where she studied music and dance from her young age. Trained at the Centre National de Danse Contemporaine (CNDC) in Angers, she holds a DNSPD (National Professional Diploma for Dancers), a BA in Arts, Letters and Languages from Lille III University and a State Diploma for contemporary dance teaching.
Between 2011 and 2015 she dances pieces from Anne-Teresa de Keersmaeker, Merce Cunningham, Robert Swinston, Trisha Brown, Marion Ballester, Julie Nioche, Yun Yin Foo and learns the techniques of William Forsythe, Alwin Nikolais, José Limon and Rudolph Laban. From 2014 to 2016 she dances for Egyptian choreographer Karima Mansour as part of the Dansewindows Project, Ballet du Nord/Olivier Dubois.
Deeply curious in the multiple motivations driving the artist to create, she graduates in 2018 with a Master in Sciences of religions and societies and writes: "The Spiritual and the Sacred in Artistic Creation: The Transcendent Experience of the Invisible in Contemporary Dance Performance". As part of her research, she follows closely the work of Nacera Belaza, Olivier Dubois and Alain Platel.
Based in Hannover, Germany, since 2018, she works as a freelance artist. She continues to renew her relationship to performing arts by the different collaborations she makes and always finds inspiration by the people she meets in her classes and workshops.
