L’ÉQUIPE
Simon-Xavier Lefebvre
Simon-Xavier first developed an interest in movement through his early encounters with martial arts. In his early twenties, while completing a bachelor’s degree in biology, his mind remained anchored in the rehearsal studio. Despite his love for science and the living world—and an insatiable curiosity that makes him fond even of city squirrels and pigeons—the growing passion for dance that had quietly taken hold of him began to take root.
He was just beginning a master’s degree in biology when a pivotal encounter with Daniel Léveillé led him to pivot fully toward dance. From his unofficial presence in classes at UQAM, he moved on to formally study at LADMMI (now EDCM), completing a year at the École de danse contemporaine de Montréal. He was soon invited to join the creation process of Un peu de tendresse, bordel de merde by Dave St-Pierre.
Since then, he has collaborated with numerous artists, including Marie Béland, Andrew Turner, Anne Thériault, Virginie Brunelle, Sasha Kleinplatz, Estelle Clareton, Hélène Blackburn, Martin Messier, Milan Gervais, Frédérick Gravel, and Parts & Labour. He has also taken part in theatre productions, notably with Éric Jean, Mani Soleymanlou, and Jérémie Niel.
Today, Simon-Xavier works primarily behind the scenes—in production, project coordination, and especially cultural mediation. Though he occasionally appears in film shoots, his artistic focus has shifted to the wings and beyond the stage.
A graduated of the Cégep de Saint-Laurent and Université du Québec à Montréal, Marilyne St-Sauveur danced in the works of Marie-Julie Asselin, Marie Béland, Lynda Gaudreau, Frédérick Gravel, Emmanuel Jouthe, OSEZ! /Karine Ledoyen, Dean Makarenko, Andrew Tay and Katie Ward. These projects have taken her everywhere on the Quebec and Canadian stages, but also in the United States, France, England and Belgium. Marilyne has taught dance at UQAM, Collège Montmorency and has taught at the Dance Department of Cégep de Saint-Laurent since 2004. She also works as rehearsal coach in dance and theatre. Thanks to her Ageless Grace certification, she shares her dance with seniors with the company Danse Carpe Diem.
François Girouard is a composer, guitarist, drummer and videographer born in Joliette in 1976. He wrote several pieces for dance, including HopeMachine and Virginia Preston’s O!SweetMediatrix (2005 and 2002), Du pittoresque en danse (co-creation, 2004) and Ingrid Belley’s La fable hymnemobile (2001). He also composed for the theatre, Tailladés by Sophie Rouleau (2005), then Le maître et Marguerite et Cocktail by François Geoffrey (2001 and 2003). He is also behind the drums of the Dynamo Coleoptera training, a mixture of original music, dance, theatre and performance. When he has time, he makes video music. Some of his works have been presented at several international festivals, including Outer Limits in New York, ISEA 2000 in Paris and Electra in Montreal.
