Laurent Soubise
Laurent Soubise is a dancer, a sensorial movement practitioner and a choreographer.
A graduate in natural sciences and in educational studies, Laurent Soubise was a professor of life and earth sciences until 1985. He discovered the world of dance during the first Biennale de la Danse in Lyon (1984) and decided to become a dancer. He studied contemporary dance with Michel Hallet-Eghayan and classical dance with Thomas Enckell. From 1986 to 1992, he danced with the Hallet-Eghayan Company and studied yoga with Myriam Coquin. He was awarded a “Lyon, capitale de la danse” scholarship in 1988.
From 1993 onwards, he studied the Danis Bois method (somato-psychoeducation), as he wished to incorporate sensorial movement into his dancing practice: he was awarded the “Sensorial Movement Practitioner” certification, with excellence, in 1996 and the “Fasciatherapy and Sensorial Movement” diploma (Danis Bois method) in July 1998.
He enriched his work as a dancer by working on Carlos Castaneda’s magical passes and participating in Javad Téhranian’s teachings on the sacred art of whirling. From 1997 to 1999, he taught at “La scène sur Saône”, a training centre for actors.
He founded Anou Skan with Sophie Tabakov and, since 1993, they have been creating danced and sung events in Lyon that integrate ritual and encounters with other cultures.
