lisanne goodhue is a Canadian dance artist based between Berlin and Montpellier (Fr.) since 2010. She trained in contemporary and classical dance, as well as in visual art in Montreal, Canada, and has since been working as a dancer, creator, choreographer and teacher in various cities around Europe. Her collaboration with choreographer Sebastian Matthias [2009-18] brought her to perform in Impulstanz Vienna, Tanzplatform Deutschland, Tanz im August and be supported by the Goethe Institut [Jakarta & Tokyo]. In 2020, stemming from her enthusiasm for collaboration and heterogeneity, she co-funds the interdisciplinary collective cohue, based in Montpellier.

 

Passing on knowledge takes the form of teaching and writing about her practice: she is a teacher at Tanzfabrik Berlin since 2017 and completed her Master's degree in Choreography at ICI-CCN Montpellier in 2020. She is also a dance teacher at l'Université Paul-Valéry since 2021, and has been leading different ateliers between dance and visual to different age groups.

 

Rooted in a political and social approach, her choreographic path weaves close links with her practice as a performer and collaborator; she works from and with the invisible knowledge of the dancers. 

​

A generator of scenographies & installation in-situ (large format video, sculptural drawing, modular sculpture, photography, light, etc.), Goodhue positions her dance in the friction between a malleable written dramaturgy and a detailed improvised movement. Her choreographies imply a virtuoso, somatic and strenuous dance. She anchors eLLipSe (2012), HUE (2015), the way to do it (2019), menocare (2019), d'humeur vitrée (2020) in a fine observation of dance practiced in close proximity with the public, and what it might open in regards to the interaction with the spectator(s). 

 

Since 2012, her work has been supported in Montpellier by Théâtre de La Vignette, ICI-CCN & La Menuiserie (Halle Tropisme), in Berlin by Tanzfabrik, Ada-Studio and Lake Studio, in London by Kite&Laslett, In Sweden by MARC and Wanas Konst, in Germany by K3 Kampnagel in Hamburg and the Leipziger Tanzteater in Leipzig, and in Montreal by MdC du Plateau Mont-Royal.
