Leslie Mannès has been developing her choreographic work since 2005. Her creations take place mainly on stage, but also explore other relationships with audiences in participatory settings. Using dance and movement as vectors of energy and emancipation, Leslie Mannès aims to propose experiences that pay attention to the link in order to reinvent the way in which relationships are forged between and with the audiences. She imagines these scenic experiences as welcoming structure designed to encourage encounters and the emergence of new shared imaginations. Leslie Mannès is a partner artist of Théâtre Varia from 2024 to 2028 and is structurally supported by the Fédération Wallonie Bruxelles - service de la danse, through a contract-program from 2024 to 2028. In her piece SOUS LE VOLCAN (2024) a group of five dancers seek for new forms of cooperation. Her research into new folklores is reflected in participatory in-situ creations like SPRING-FIRE or the OMENS and the WHISPERERS at Charleroi’s CARNAVAL in collaboration with Charleroi-danse and L’Eden. The trio Mannès|Turine|Lemaître created the shows RITUELS DU DÉSORDRE (2022), FORCES (2019), ATOMIC 3001 (2016). They have developed a shared approach to body, sound and light, seeking to generate powerful sensory experiences for the spectator. Cie SYSTEM FAILURE co-founded with Louise Baduel has created the trilogy: INITIAL ANOMALY (2019), HUMAN DECISION (2015) and SYSTEM FAILURE (2013) exploring the relationship to new technologies. Leslie Mannès collaborated with the Entreprise d’Optimisation du Réel on OPTIMUM PARK (2011-2016) an immersive show that questioned through play the place of the individual in a system. With Manon Santkin and Jennifer Defays, she developed the transdisciplinary project BYPRODUCT (2006 - 2013) around the relationship between body and garment.
