Short Artist Bio
Laura Guy is a dance artist and movement teacher based in Berlin since 2016, with French/Danish roots. After a season with Cie le Marchepied-Lausanne, she collaborated with choreographers and companies such as Yarra Dolev, Amit Goldenberg, Sasha Waltz & Guests, Roni Rotem Dance Group, Georges Maikel Pires Monterio, Staatsoper Berlin, and more. From 2019 to 2023, Laura worked intensively with Tanztheater Katja Erdmann-Rajski in Stuttgart as a dancer and choreographic assistant. She also undertook intensive studies in Gaga Movement Language and, in 2023, received a grant to continue her movement research, Healing via Movement and Joy. This study and research shaped her movement language and led to the creation of her movement classes.
Since 2016, Laura has created and performed her own works at venues such as Gdańsk Dance Festival, The OPUS Dance Contest, Poetic Hafla No.14, Lake Studio Berlin, and Arizona's Vision Gallery (USA). Following her movement research phase, her passion for creation was reignited, inspiring the development of her new solo piece, La petite Laura, which she has been working on since early 2024.

The Research / Method:
"Healing via Movement & Joy"
"Healing via Movement & Joy" is a movement practice designed to explore the healing potential of dance and improvisation. Rooted in years of experience in dance, movement therapy, yoga, and the Gaga movement language, this method uses improvisation as the main tool to reconnect with the body and bring joy through movement.
The method is accessible to all, regardless of experience or body type, and focuses on awakening the body and mind through movement. It explores the relationship between pleasure, effort, and sensation, where movement becomes a gateway to healing. The practice combines aerobic and anaerobic movements to create a balanced approach that supports both physical and emotional well-being.
Music, movement therapy, and mindful practices play a central role in this work, guiding participants to feel a deeper connection to their bodies. Through improvisation-based exercises, the body is encouraged to move freely, tapping into instincts, creativity, and joy. Each class starts with a warm-up that ignites the senses and prepares the body for deeper exploration. From there, participants engage in layered tasks that challenge their movement skills, lines, and groove, helping them break free from limitations and discover new ways of moving.
The method is designed not only to release tension but also to explore how to treat the body with care and awareness. The final part of each session focuses on mindfulness and relaxation, allowing the body to ground and integrate the sensations experienced throughout the practice. By the end, participants leave with a sense of joy, vitality, and greater body awareness—feeling empowered and more connected to themselves.
"Healing via Movement & Joy" is an invitation to rediscover the joy of movement, using dance as a tool for healing, creativity, and overall well-being.
