Julia B. Laperrière is a French-Canadian choreographer based in Berlin. She holds a BA in Dance from UQAM and an MA in Choreography from ICI-CCN National Choreographic Center of Montpellier and Université Paul-Valéry. As an artist navigating between Berlin, Montpellier and Montreal, the mix of languages, places, practices, people and genres —both artistic and identity related— constitute an integral part of her practice. Lately, she has been developing her research around the figure of the dangerous woman and is interested in the representations of the female body on stage, new intimacies and dangerous dances. Her work currently tours in Germany, Canada, France and Norway. Laperrière also enjoys collaborating with other artists, and has in the last years worked with Ursina Tossi, Costa Company, Anne-Mareike Hess and Christoph Winkler amongst others. Laperrière also occasionally teaches and has lately been teaching at the University of Osnabrück and the National Choreographic Center of Orléans.
