About the teacher
Léo is a queer non-binary french Canadian multidisciplinary artist. At first, they graduate from Collège de Rosemont, Montréal, in 2021, where they studied in acupuncture therapy. Léo works mainly as a solo artist in Berlin, as a handbalancer & dance performer. They are moved and inspired by an approach that includes fragments of our contemporary reality, queer identity, humanity on scene, absurdity, visual art, the complex emotional realm of questioning, and a deep sense of belonging to being upside down.
