Vivre Joe

SOLD OUT!

This workshop reserved exclusively for non-dancers is led by Ginelle Chagnon, one of Jean-Pierre Perreault’s closest collaborators. She will be assisted by the dancer and teacher Sophie Breton.
 
The choreographer Jean-Pierre Perreault and his seminal piece Joe are landmarks in the world of Quebec contemporary dance. For dance aficionados, this is a unique opportunity to slip into the skin of a dancer performing the piece during a workshop that focuses on dance exercises and performance. Onstage at Agora de la danse you will don a raincoat, boots and hat, the emblematic symbols of this work for several dancers.

Long Live Jean-Pierre Perreault’s Joe!

This practical two-part workshop will conclude with a public presentation by the participants of excerpts they have rehearsed. That will be followed by a free video screening (open to all) of the 1994 Radio-Canada coproduction of Joe. Dare to discover and perform the movements, sounds and rhythms of the piece in a veritable incursion into the choreographic universe of this outstanding artist. The workshop is an exceptional opportunity to give substance to your desire to dance while enjoying an intriguing take on a milestone of contemporary dance in Quebec.
