Alexandre Morin

A rising force on Québec’s contemporary scene, he crafts a precise and committed choreographic voice, grounded in extensive experience as a performer.

Alexandre Morin is a choreographer, performer, and teacher at the École de danse contemporaine de Montréal. A graduate of EDCM in 2013, he received the Hnatyshyn Foundation grant awarded to a promising young contemporary dance artist in Canada.

As a dancer, he has danced for Marie Chouinard, Sylvain Émard, and Dominique Porte to name a few. In 2022, he was selected for a choreographic exchange between Italy and Quebec, offered by CALQ, Circuit-Est and CSC Centro per la Scena Contemporanea in Bassano del Grappa.

The 2023–2024 season was a pivotal year for Morin, as he presented three well-received shows back-to-back: Anatomie d’un moteur (Agora de la danse), Plasticity/Desires (co-produced by MAI and La Chapelle Scènes Contemporaines), and Cutting Through the Noise (Agora de la danse).
