Lara Buffard is an international performance artist, designer and maker who incorporates symbolic and surrealistic visuals, igniting audiences wherever she goes. Lara is interested in exploring the personal, feminist strategies and subjectivities in a lived world; the liminal space between reality, fantasy, performance art and ritual.

 

This exploration extends to her work as a costume designer, where she creates performative garments that amalgamate the divine and the ephemeral, theatrical and natural, in a glamourously mythical result. Originally from Paris, Lara graduated in Museology and later in Theatre Performance and Contemporary Live Arts. Currently located in London for the past decade. 

 

Recent design credits include : Greek National Opera with Georgios Iatrou, Saddlers Wells, National Theatre and costume and performance for the V&A, as part of their latest exhibition, Diva. 

 

When she’s not performing, designing or lecturing at UAL and abroad, she is the creative producer for Body Intelligence Collective which involves contemporary dance and new technologies.
