January 8 to 12, 2024 | 9:30 am - 4 pm |
Follow a short dance class led by Marie Claire Forté, and become one with Louise Bédard's rich repertoire of luminous phrasing, torso surges and lacy gestures. Louise and Marie Claire will select excerpts to suit the audience. Then plunge into research with Louise to discover what emerges from this encounter.
Louise Bédard
Louise Bédard first made her mark as a performer, working with numerous contemporary choreographers, before becoming a creator in her own right. In 1990, she founded her own company, Louise Bédard Danse.
Louise's choreographic language, often praised for its finesse, blends with her desire to depict the human in all its strength and fragility. So many worlds open up to the subjectivity of a gaze on the world. Her many experiences have brought her closer to the very essence of movement, the kind that makes sense to her and gives her all the space she needs to unleash her imagination.
The recipient of several awards, she was named a finalist in 2006 for the Grand Prix du Conseil des arts de Montréal for her piece Ce qu'il en reste, as well as in 2016 with Cartes postales de Chimère and Série solos. In 2018 Louise won the Prix de la danse de Montréal's Performer of the Year award. She is co-founder of Circuit-Est center chorégraphique, dedicated to research and creation in contemporary dance.
Marie Claire Forté
Driven by the relational, experiential and experimental potential of dance, Marie Claire Forté dances, choreographs, writes, translates and teaches. She is the mother of Imogen Keith, who enchants her, teaches her and moves her. Her career is marked by long-standing artistic relationships with artists of different generations and aesthetics who share a love of process, collaboration and rigor. This season, she is working with Louise Bédard, Catherine Lalonde, Priscilla Guy and Émilie Morin, Katie Ward, la pieuvre and visual artist Sophie Bélair Clément.
