Laura Duke Condominas (also known as Laura Duke, born in Boston April 1951) is the daughter of French-American artist and film-maker Niki de Saint-Phalle and American novelist Harry Mathews. As an actress she is most notable for her portrayal of Guinevere in Robert Bresson's film Lancelot du lac (1974).
She grew up in France in the artistic and film-making milieu of her mother, and married Laurent Condominas, a model and photographer. Laurent was linked to the "Zanzibar Films" collective of avant garde French film-makers, known as the "Dandies of May 1968" financed by Sylvina Boissonnas until 1970. He appeared in Patrick Deval's film Acéphale (1969). A daughter, Bloum, was born to them in 1971 in Bali, Indonesia. Lancelot du lac was filmed from the end of June to the start of September 1973 in Noirmoutier-en-l'Île[1] and first screened at Cannes in May 1974. Laura Duke later appeared in her mother's film Un rêve plus long que la nuit (1976) with Laurent, and also in La nuit porte jarretelles (1985) a film by Virginie Thévenet.
In 2008-2009, Duke hosted several key production meetings for the full-dome film Maya Skies. During this time, she began to develop The Curved Blackboard, a STEAM arts immersion outreach program, intended to benefit at-risk youth in the San Francisco Bay Area.
During 2015-2017, The Curved Blackboard held its first two years of classes as part of the Berkeley Unified School District, under Laura's direction. The project was funded by the UC Berkeley Chancellor's Community Partnership Fund and the Berkeley Unified School District BALSA APEX program. The Curved Blackboard was included in the BALSA APEX showcase May 9, 2016.
In the 2017-2018 school year, The Curved Blackboard received funding from the BUSD Strategic Impact Grants for a series of after-school programs combining art, science and practical making.
Duke currently works as a cultural designer in Oakland, California.
