GUEST ARTISTS

• Repertoire
  Anne Plamondon, choreographer, dancer and teacher
  I invite you to discover an extract from my repertoire while sharing a rigorous learning space, in a climate of trust. To prepare the body, I will offer exercises and key principles that I use in my creative process, such as presence and breathing. We will approach the ground with authority, sculpt the space with cleverness and explore partnering skills. My work process is structured while leaving room for instinct and listening in the present moment.

• Choreography workshop
  James Gregg, choreographer, dancer and codirector of Wewolf
  James' creative process is rooted in his multidisciplinary background and extensive knowledge ofcontemporary, hip-hop, ballet, and breakdance. He has developed a unique approach to generatingmovement and choreography, which involves channeling from various techniques and ideas. His process iscollaborative and dynamic, inspiring dancers to explore new ways of moving and communicating throughdance.

• Popping and Popping history
  Handy "HYA" Yacinthe, dancer and founder of JOAT Festival

• Ballet and improvisation
  Alisia Pobega, dancer and Danse à la carte Artistic and General Director
  This method helps the artist explore notions of improvisation. As a starting point, we take the idea that the dancer does not simply execute movements, but must interpret them with meaning. Through this workshop, the participants realize the value of expression in dance and are led to develop their own artistic voice.
  
  
• Gaga
  Laura Toma, dancer, choreographer and co-founder and co-choreographer of LA TRESSE collective

• Masterclass
  Louise Lecavalier, dancer, choreographer and Artistic Director, Fou glorieux
  The workshop consists of a training session that mainly includes elements from boxing and basic sports training, simple,
  dynamic and natural movements that help develop power, control and endurance. In a second part the participants learn a choreographic excerpt that requires speed of execution, precision and coordination of original movements.
