Véronique Lemonnier trained at the International Academy of Dance between 2009 and 2012 in contemporary, jazz and classical techniques. During her career, she ventures into different worlds; she collaborates with Giuliano Peparini in 1789 Les amants de la Bastille (2012), with Claude Brumachon in Folie (2014) and Ashbury St. (2015). At the same time, she is intensively introduced to the practices of improvisation and collaborates on the first piece of Betty Mansion, Khsara (2017). In particular, she will work on La Traviata directed by Déborah Warner (2018) and for Julien Grosvalet with the play M.A.D. (2020). In 2018, she created La Pieuvre in collaboration with Rebecca Journo. A company where the work is intertwined with several mediums between dance, music, performance and photography. There she interprets for the plays Whales (2020), Portrait (2022) and Les amours de la pieuvre (2024). For several years, she has been working with silver self-portraits in black and white. Here, the photo is thought of in documentation, with the passage of time as a filter. For her, mapping her body in space through the medium of photography is a continuity of dance where the naked body reveals its own language.
