Laurent Drousie – Artistic director

Born in 1987, Tournai (Belgium), Laurent Drousie studied at the Paris Opera’s prestigious « École de Danse » and then completed his education at the school of the Royal Ballet of Flanders in Antwerp.
During his career, he joined Europa Danse, then worked at the Royal Ballet of Flanders, as well as Ballet du Rhin and Introdans in the Netherlands.
He discovered quickly his passion and creativity. Since then, he never stopped striving for creating his own language trough movement. His hypnotical work is demanding, physically and mentally.
“I’ll always cut a slightly different angle than you would like or you expect.”
Laurent Drousie encourages his dancers to challenge themselves and to experience the motions he creates. He incites them to work on their inner emotions and to allow the movement to interact. His work is unique, energetic and dynamic.
