Bio
« Dance become a sensory machine that guides dancer such as Lisanne Goodhue to a subtle and sophisticated presence in his [Sebastian Matthias] choreographies. » - Irmela Kästner
Tanzplatform Deutschland 2014
lisanne goodhue (Canada, 1986) is a dance artist based in Montpellier, trained in classical ballet, contemporary dance and visual arts in Montreal, Canada. In 2020 she completed her Master's degree in Choreography at ICI-CCN in Montpellier. In Berlin between 2010-18, she has since accumulated professional experience in Europe, Canada and Asia.
Since 2012 she has been developing solo, collaborative, interdisciplinary choreographic, and educational projects. Her choreographic path weaves close links with her practice as a performer and collaborator. Circulating between her roles as a choreographer, performer, teacher and visual artist, her dances manifest a powerful, somatic and virtuosic body, skilfully operating between the social and abstract frameworks a performative context proposes.
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 work has been performed at Plastique Danse Flore Versaille, in Montpellier (ICI-CCN, la Vignette, Halle Tropisme), Grenoble (CDCN Le Pacifique), Berlin (Tanzfabrik, Lake Studio, Ada-Studio), K3 Kampnagel in Hamburg, Leipzig (Schaubühne Lindenfels), Sweden (MARC, Wanas Konst), and London by Kite&Laslett, and Montreal (MdC Plateau-Mont-Royal).
Exapnding and sharing her experience 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.

«Tanz ist hier unverstellt, ohne Theatralik oder demonstrative Virtuosität zu erfahren: in einer ungeschminkten Klarheit und unverstellten Schönheit, die den Betrachter zunehmend in den Bann zieht. Lisanne Goodhue fasziniert durch ihre pure, losgelöst in der Bewegung aufgehende Körperlichkeit. » - Leon Hard
