Biography

Born in Montreal, Geneviève has and will always dance. Her non-conventional educational pathway mostly relies on two dance programs : first, she is graduated in interpretation from LADMMI, the current École de danse contemporaine de Montréal (2003), and then in creation from the Dance Master program at UQÀM (2018). As a choreographer and dancer, she fundamentally identifies herself as a movement artist specialized in the creative practice of self-authored movement research. She recognizes her own posture as meta-artistic, interdisciplinary and feminist. The development of her work is supported and rewarded : academic excellence during her interpretation’s studies, support to research during her master, and support to creation as a professional artist. She dances and choreographs for a lot of emerging artists; she dances for theater, television and about thirty dancers present her choreographic pieces. These ones are presented at Monument-National, in a dress-room at Place des Arts, in an an-echoic room, at La Rotonde, at Festival Vue sur la Relève and Festival OFF d’Avignon. Otherwise, her interdisciplinary tendency brings her to undertake, at l’UQÀT, a certificate in Creation and new medias (2019). As a panelist, she first approaches infinitude’s practice in Sydney, Australia (2015), and her contribution is qualified as highly feminist. Her first appearance as a panelist in Montreal (2018) is at a round-table on the place of women in the artistic industry. In a sense of continuity with her master’s exploration, she creates her recent piece ∞POSTX∞, rooting herself in her most important dance experiences, in Montreal, but also in France (Performing Arts Forum, 2012; Festival OFF d’Avignon, 2018), in Singapore (Substation A Home for the Arts, 2015) and in Australia (Dancehouse, 2015). Finally, as an emerging artist in the Fleuve and Récif programs offered by Confluence – Créateurs de vocations (Montréal, 2022-2024), she learns Project Management and participates to Grounded Aerial Bungee Training Level I and II (Philadelphia, USA), while investigating new artistic creative projects in Canada, France, USA, Switzerland and Spain.
