Laurie Young

Laurie Young is a Berlin-based Canadian dance artist whose work embraces an expanded notion of choreography as a way of observing organisational patterns between bodies, framing and revealing hierarchies. Her practice is informed increasingly by the politics of the diasporic body, its archival liveliness and its choreography. Named Visiting Dance Artist of the National Arts Centre and a multiple recipient of the Volkswagen Foundation’s Art and Science in Motion fellowship, her work has been presented at Sophiensæle since 2014. She is co-initiator of FreelanceDanceEnsemble Berlin and a board member of Zeitgenössischer Tanz Berlin.
