In this solo choreographed for Inés Boza in Barcelona and now for Annik Hamel in Montréal, Marie Béland questions the search for “authenticity” on the stage. Through the process of creating the solo, she reveals the rituals that may or may not lead to this “state of grace”. Béland aims to dissect representation by staging the work of the dancer that is typically obscured.

Elle réalisa la conception d’éclairage de Jour 1, en novembre 2013, une création du Petit Théâtre de Sherbrooke.
Angela Rassenti trained in scenography at the National Theatre School of Canada. Since 2008, she has been designing sets and costumes mainly in theatre and contemporary dance. This is not her first collaboration with maribé – sors de ce corps; in 2013 she designed the costumes and accessories for the creations; BLEU – VERT – ROUGE and Vie et mort de l’élégance. Among her most recent works, a costume design in March 2014 with Amélie Rajotte for her creation Carnaval for Tangente, at Studio Hydro Québec, a costume design for Plus Vrai by Sarah Bild with Danse Cité during fall 2013, and a scenography for Scrap by Mathieu Leroux with the Neos Futuristes at Espace Libre in 2012.
Trained in contemporary dance, Annik Hamel has been practising art for 25 years on Montreal and international stages. She works for more than fifty creators known for their contribution to this discipline, including Jean-Pierre Perreault, Paul-André Fortier, Daniel Léveillé, Ginette Laurin, Natsu Nakajima (Japan), Françoise Sullivan, Sizan Marshall (USA), James Kudelka, Karine Pontiès (Belgium), Ae Soon Ahn (Korea), Danièle Desnoyers, José Navas, Estelle Clareton and Martin Bélanger. She has been working with Montréal Danse since 1987.
His personal projects also lead him to orchestrate and interpret «C’est l’histoire d’une femme», composed of pieces by Paola de Vasconcelos, Wajdi Mouawad and José Navas as part of the Volet Interprète de Danse-Cité. In theatre, she collaborated with Wajdi Mouawad, Denis Marleau and participated in Pol Pelletier’s DOJO. In cinema, she starred in the films of Gilles Noël, Jean Chabot, Mario Côté and Raymond St-Jean.
Joël Lavoie is a native of Montreal. He quickly discovered a passion for music and technology. After a few years of work as a sonorizer in various concert halls in Montreal, he returned to the Université de Montréal where he took a BA in electroacoustic composition. He studied there for 3 years with Robert Normandeau, Jean Piché and Louis Dufort. In 2010 he went to DeMonfort University in the UK where he studied with Simon Emmerson and John Young. He has developed a particular sound aesthetic that combines the organicity of the natural with the raw discord of electronic noises. He has composed several musics for various projects: short films, contemporary dance, children’s theatre and more recently poetry. He is part of the Boutefeu duo that combines his music with the poetry of Sébastien B. Gagnon. They have performed in Paris, Bordeaux, Trois-Rivières and Montreal. He also composed for projects by Audrey Rochette, Rosie Contant, Le moulin à musique and many others.

Karine souhaiterait continuer longtemps dans cette voie lumineuse.
Sophie Michaud / dramaturge et répétitrice
Sophie Michaud began her dance career in the early 1980s. After exploring dance through the means of interpretation and choreography, she made her own the profession of «repeater». By juxtaposing graduate studies (UQAM) and praxis, she deepened her reflection on the role she plays alongside choreographers and dancers. For more than 20 years now, she has worked as an artistic advisor, choreography assistant, rehearsal director and mentor. His main engagements include long collaborations with the companies Cas Public, Manon fait de la danse, Sinha Danse, Corpuscule Danse and Bouge de là. In addition, he collaborated with Lucie Grégoire Danse, Fabrication Danse, maribé – sors de ce corps, Caroline-Laurin Beaucage and Catherine Gaudet, to name a few. At UQAM, she has assisted several teachers and has accompanied many students in their creative process to the baccalaureate, the master’s in dance and the doctorate in artistic practice. Since 2008, the Regroupement Québécois de la Danse has entrusted him and David Pressault with the training program for emerging choreographers. This involvement is one of the actions she favours to renew her practice and contribute to the evolution of the discipline.
