For 18 years, Catherine Gaudet has been exploring the complexity and ambiguity of the human psyche, finding ways to convey its contradictions with the body. She portrays an elusive reality, a presence in the world that is both internally driven and swayed by external forces. From this standpoint she has created a universe made up of innumerable, overlapping identities that are in-flux. Her dance is a descent into oneself, a penetration of the deep layers within beings that must undergo perpetual transformation.

Gaudet created her first choreography in 2004. She has since created eight full-length works and several short works that have been presented in Quebec and internationally. Gaudet is currently the artistic and executive director at Compagnie Catherine Gaudet, a member of Circuit-Est centre chorégraphique, an associate creator at DLD – Daniel Léveillé Danse, and an associate artist at Agora de la danse.
