Born in Paris, dancer and choreographer Jeanne Lakits trained in dance in Copenhagen, Vienna and Zagreb while studying physics at the Sorbonne in Paris.
She collaborates with artists such as Oriantheatre Dance Company, Flora Boros, BADco and the Kollektiv Log. Early on, she began her own research into movement and developed her Undirectional improvisational practice, which seeks a body of “directionless” possibilities. She transmits Floorwork and partnering techniques.
Her work has been shown at Tanzwerkstatt Europa, Kultursommer Wien, Regard du Cygne and Carreau du Temple in Paris with the Fabrique de la Danse. Since 2023, she has organized the dance festival Manoir en mouvement in Normandy, seeking new forms of encounters between dance and its audience.
