Founder of Nadère arts vivants, Andréane Leclerc graduated from the National Circus School in 2001. Perceiving contortionism as a malleable, physical technique capable of generating a world of sensation and mental in the eyes of the spectator beyond the spectacular, she creates experimental, cirque-esque pieces as well as conceptual performances:Di(x)parue, Cherepaka, Insuccube, Mange-moi, Corps sculptural. Andréane possesses a particular interest for the performance stage and continues to dance for choreographers and directors such as Dave St-Pierre, Angela Konrad, and Peter James. In 2013, she completed a Masters degree from the theatre department of the Université du Québec à Montréal (UQAM) under the direction of Marie-Christine Lesage.
