Solène Weinachter is a freelance dancer and choreographer. Her artistic practice is rooted in the intersection between dance, theatre, story telling, humour and what could appear as uncomfortable conversations.
Solène trained in the regional conservatoire of Lyon and then pursued her training at London Contemporary Dance School where she obtained a BA(Hons) and an MA in contemporary dance and performance. Her interest as a performer is rooted in the connection with the audience. Story-telling, dance, and laughter have been in the centre of her work since 2013.
She has worked with a wide range of dance and physical theatre companies in Europe including: Scottish Dance Theatre, Lost Dog, Joan Clevillé, Gecko Theatre Company, Vera Tussing and most recently Oona Doherty. She is also a founding member of Collective Endeavours, a Glasgow-based music and dance improvisation collective. Her current projects are Antigone, Interr pted by Joan Clevillé, and a touring production of J liet Romeo by Ben Duke.
