Laura Arend
Contemporary dance company based between France and Luxembourg.
Under the artistic direction of Laura AREND
The company's creations are the result of the impact of reality in the space of performance. Through committed, demanding dance and sensitive virtuosity of the body, the choreographer summons our collective cultural memory. The experience of a physical and metaphorical journey is central to her choreographic work.
Laura Arend pursues her commitment to socio-cultural issues by reinforcing on stage the status of the emancipated, free and powerful woman.
