Danced roundtables
Agora de la danse
May 6 to 8, 2016 – 6PM
The carte blanche given to Sophie Corriveau and Katya Montaignac for the creation of a new Traces-Interprètes will allow audiences of the 34th season of Danse-Cité and Agora de la danse to witness an event unlike any other: an immersion into the intimate world of the dancer. Expressing themselves both verbally and bodily, 16 performers from a multigenerational dance community in Montreal will take over the stage and microphone, relating their anecdotes, sensations and reflections on their profession. On May 6, 7 and 8 at Agora de la danse, each of the participants in these three danced roundtables entitled Nous (ne) sommes (pas) tous des danseurs (“We Are (Not) All Dancers”) will give free rein to their imagination, recounting good things and bad, troubles and torments, stories imbued with truth and poignancy. With spontaneity, creativity, vulnerability and honesty, they will drop their masks to demystify, in the light of their respective experiences and careers, what it means to be a dancer today in Quebec.
In the company of Johanna Bienaise, Sarah Bild, Lucie Boissinot, Marc Boivin, Marie Claire Forté, Manon Levac, Marie Mougeolle, Dominique Porte, Enora Rivière, Daniel Soulières, Catherine Tardif, Andrew Turner, Vincent Warren and Jamie Wright, the project will reveal the uniqueness of each of the collaborators, enchanting audiences with their highly intimate and human presentations.
