Louise Vanneste
Person — Roles : Choreographer, Dancer
Biography
After training in classical dance, the Belgian choreographer Louise Vanneste moved to contemporary dance, studying at P.A.R.T.S. from which she graduated. A grant from the SPES Foundation (Be) allowed her to continue her training in New York, notably with the Trisha Brown Dance Company. She founded the Rising Horses company and developed her choreographic work in close collaboration with artists from other fields. She plays on a certain abstraction and economy of movement. Neither pleasurable or painful, her pieces slip into a mysterious in-between, tender and disturbing at the same time. Since 2008 she has been creating works both for the stage and in situ, as well as video installations.
