Laurane Le Goff (born 1996) is an ecologically engaged textile artist and costume maker. She is interested in finding ways to tell human and more-than-humans entangled stories through performance and collaborative works. This interest has led her to interdisciplinary practices that she is currently developing in the MA Art and Science at Central Saint Martins.
Le Goff’s meticulous work in costume making, textile crafts, drawings, and prints, emerge from the observation of natural processes, especially by the comprehension of biology and microbiology. Because of her strong sense of ecological activism, her work is often collaborative and linked to social issues. The participative dance project Dance the Amazon that emerged from her participation in Labverde Residency in the Amazon Rainforest in 2018 has been featured in the Carnival of Crisis: UAL response to the COP 26. Since last year, she is co-curating “Entangled Futures”, a series of lectures and workshops to promote an interdisciplinary and intersectional education on the ecological change.

- Sympoiesis: a bio-inpspired dance performance“Sympoiesis” is a bio-inspired dance performance. Coined originally by Beth Dempster, this term implied ‘multi-species making together.’ The performance emerges from the relationship between myself, a plant, a slime mould, four dancers, and a sound designer. This performance invites you to rethink your relationship with other species. Can we erase the boundary between “us” and “them”? Can we reshape our present and maybe rethink our future by learning about their past? The multiple crises w
