Véronique Lemonnier trained at the International Academy of Dance from 2009 to 2012, studying contemporary, jazz, and classical techniques. Throughout her training, she explored different artistic worlds, collaborating with Giuliano Peparini in 1789: Les Amants de la Bastille (2012), with Claude Brumachon in Folie (2014) and Ashbury St. (2015). Alongside this, she developed a strong interest in improvisation and took part in Khsara (2017), the first piece by Betty Mansion. She also worked on La Traviata, directed by Deborah Warner (2018), and M.A.D. (2020) by Julien Grosvalet. In 2018, she co-founded La Pieuvre with Rebecca Journo — a company where dance, music, performance, and photography intertwine. With the company, she has performed in Whales (2020), Portrait (2022), and Les amours de la pieuvre (2024). For several years, she has also been working with black-and-white analog self-portrait photography. This practice serves as a form of documentation, filtered through the passage of time. Using photography to map her body in space is, for her, a continuation of dance — a way for the exposed body to express its own language. More recently, she has begun training as a technician, expanding her field of action by combining artistic work with technical practice.
