Laurent studied philosophy and French litterature, and then specialised in live performance. He founded Companie Mesden through which he wrote and staged his own plays. Laurent Bazin developed play after play a strange and visually striking aesthetic, merging together live performance, dance performance as well as shadow and light effects, while always interrogating the relationship between the spectator and the gaze. A former resident of Villa Médicis (20152016), Impatience Festival laureate (2013), a 104 (Paris) and Main d’Oeuvre (SaintOuen) resident, Laurent just finished touring his latest play: l’Amour et les Forêts, a Eric Reinhardt adaptation starring Isabelle Adjani. Parallel to his artistic creations, Laurent runs several workshops on innovation with professionals from the world of live performance as well as big companies (EADS, BOUYGUES, STARBUCKS…)
