Charcuterie
Caroline Laurin-Beaucage
Dance | Performance

They pluck, dismember and chop up; they tear the skin off and hang up the flesh. From butchery to surgery, from pick-nick to morgue, what else will these hands perpetrate? An exploration for two women and a chicken; an intimate ritual where alive and dead are stripped down.

BIOGRAPHICAL NOTE – Caroline Laurin-Beaucage
For about 15 years, Caroline Laurin-Beaucage has been actively participating in Montreal’s contemporary dance milieu as an interpreter, a choreographer and a teacher. She was trained at the School of Toronto Dance Theatre and is also certified in Pilates. Early in her career, she danced for the Jean-Pierre Perrault Foundation, Fortier Danse Creation, Trial and Éros/Deborah Dunn, Grand Poney/Jacques Poulin-Denis and Bouge de là, before joinging O Vertigo in 2011. In 2001, she started working as a choreographer, mainly creating solo shows. A few years later, she joined the theater scene as a movement advisor for director Claude Poissant, and took on teaching dance at Concordia University. In 2009, she created Hit and Fall together with sound artist Martin Messier. The show was programmed at the FTA in Montreal (2011) as well as French festivals Artdanthé and Via. The following year, teaming up once again with Messier, she presented a new creation,Soak. In 2013, Caroline Laurin-Beaucage created Entailles, the first part of a trilogy, which was presented by Tangente in March 2014. The trilogy will continue with Charcuterie and Décompte, a LORGANISME and Montréal Danse co-production. Caroline Laurin-Beaucage co-founded LORGANISME, a Montreal-based contemporary dance artists association, in 2010, and has been acting as its artistic director since.

Le solo final de Laurin-Beaucage est un petit bijou, évocateur, codifié et vulnérable. Du bon travail, de la recherche précise, de la place encore pour affiner, des effets de quatre sous très efficaces et deux interprètes justes, précises de corps et d’intentions.
(Le Devoir – Catherine Lalonde, janvier 2012, à propos de Soak)

Malgré la posture voûtée, la tête baissée et le regard rivé au sol, les danseuses mangent l’espace de leurs gestes précis et affirmés. Chaque proposition est assumée avec brio et appuyée par des jeux de lumières.
(Dfdanse – Laura Pinsonneault-Craig, janvier 2012, à propos de Soak)

Le premier corps à corps est très efficace, d’une belle crudité.
(Le Devoir – Catherine Lalonde, juin 2011, à propos de Hit and Fall)

Le chantier des cochylis
Donald Trépanier
Performance

In the form of short interventions, Donald Trépanier creates a construction site through the use of various visual and audio devices. Both playful and spectacular, his work diverts and plays with art‘s codes, history, and sacredness.

BIOGRAPHICAL NOTE – Donald Trépanier
Native of Rouyn-Noranda, Donald Trépanier is back in his hometown after beginning multidisciplinary studies at the Université du Québec in Montréal, then completing his studies at the Université du Québec en Abitibi-Témiscamingue. His productions put forth a mix of performance and painting. His works have mainly been shown through solo and group exhibitions, namely at l’Écart in Rouyn-Noranda, outside Québec, as well as in Mexico city. In 2008, he received recognition for the quality of his work in an exhibition by Loto-Québec.

Sa performance consistait en cinq courts numéros qui vont dans toutes les directions et ne laisse pas beaucoup le temps à l'artiste ni aux spectateurs de reprendre son souffle.
(La frontière – David Prince, octobre 2012)

Donald Trépanier épatera l’assistance en gonflant un avion de plastique construit de toute pièces. Il pilotera quelques secondes cette sculpture monumentale avant qu‘elle ne s’abîme contre un mur, donnant avec ce crash réel et symbolique un coup d’envoi spectaculaire aux soirées de performance…
(Inter – Natalie Côté)

Monsters, Angels and Aliens are
not a Substitute for Spirituality...
Andrew Tay
Dance | Performance

Andrew Tay turns kitsch into a powerful ritual, shedding light onto our invisible and inexplicable discontinuities, thus creating a problematic zone in which matter has the potential to become spiritually infused.

BIOGRAPHICAL NOTE – Andrew Tay
In 2005, Andrew Tay co-founded the Wants&Needs company with Sasha Kleinplatz, with which they produced such shows as the wildly popular Piss in the Pool and the Short&Sweet dance events in Montreal. In June of 2012, the duo choreographed the Cirque du Soleil show Les Frontieres de Pixels in Quebec City, for which they were nominated for a Quebec Notables award in the Arts&Culture category.

Andrew Tay fait preuve d’un style articulé, d’une symbolique poussée, et son corps exprime puissamment, plus qu’il n’interprète.
(Dfdanse – Marion Gerbier)

Beaucoup d’éléments démontrent un important travail de réflexion et de tri des idées pour n’exposer que l’essentiel et l’épuré.
(Dfdanse)

Tay produced some of his most mature work to date, without ever sacrificing his playfulness.
(Local Gestures, 2012)
