Laurie Young was a member of the Canadian dance research lab Le Groupe Dance Lab from 1992 to 1996. In 1996, she moved to Berlin, performed in Sasha Waltz‘ Allee der Kosmonauten, and has since collaborated with the company, first as a member of the ensemble and later as a guest artist. From 2000 to 2003, Young was a member of the ensemble at the Schaubühne am Lehniner Platz. Internationally, she has danced for choreographers such as Meg Stuart, Constanza Macras, Benoit Lachambre, Emio Grecco, Eszter Salomon, Animal Farm Collective, Grayson Millwood and Nasser Martin-Gousset. Her works include the solo Brand New Bag and OmU. In 2007, Laurie was artist-in-residence at fabrik Potsdam. In 2009, she founded the collective The Plant with Panagiota Kallimanis and Philipe Loureco, which develops site-specific installations. She has also collaborated with filmmakers, set designers, and video artists, among others. Her solo piece Natural Habitat (2011) premiered at the Natural History Museum in Berlin. Her collaborative choreographic project with Janet Cardiff and George Burres Miller, Alter Bahnhof Video Walk, was presented at Documenta (13) in Kassel in 2012. Her works have been on view at Sophiensæle since 2014.
