Catherine Gaudet immediately asserts herself as a choreographer with a strong and singular signature. She is particularly interested in the transformations of the body generated by the ambiguity that animates the being. She approaches her choreographic work as a study of the unconscious and elusive aspect of the human being and wishes to reveal what it seeks to conceal. She develops a physicality where the body becomes a place of resonance of the complex and contradictory sensations that rumble under the flesh.

In 2020, she continued her research on ambiguity as a vector of sensation and evocation with Se dissoudre, a creation for an interpreter. Having reached the maturity of her artistic language, choreographer Catherine Gaudet sets out in search of a space under the bodies where desires can be reborn despite the weight of constraint in Les jolies choses. Since 2018, she is a member of Circuit-Est centre chorégraphique and associate creator at DLD (Daniel Léveillé Danse).

Mélanie Demers receives the Prix du CALQ pour la meilleure œuvre chorégraphique de la saison artistique in Quebec for Confession Publique

General and Artistic Director, but above all choreographer of MAYDAY, and member of Circuit-Est for over ten years, Mélanie Demers uses the stage as a platform to question the role of the artist and as a space to reflect collectively on the fate of the world and of individuals. Her works highlight the darker side of the human condition. In 2021, she received the prestigious GRAND PRIX de la danse at Espace Marie Chouinard.
