Oct 29 – Nov 2, 2012 • 9:30 a.m. to 12:30 p.m.

Cost: $75 (Emploi-Québec)


This workshop offers an extended exploration of the creative process, and sails through the following concepts:
- Develop confidence in intuition, instinct, and the pleasure of play;
- Incite and gather the imaginary and the unconscious;
- Play with fate, drifting, systems, patterns, and allegories;
- Bring the emotion and affect as subjects;
- Integrate the physical realities, contexts, and barriers as structuring and triggering elements;
- Think beyond the visual and the representative: texture, intimacy, complicity and involvement;
- Observe and accept the process and its trajectory as phenomena lying outside the scope of egocentric control.
We will explore solo, duo, group or collective creation according to the desires and the nature of our cohort and this, in an open and discussed process.

Martin Bélanger has been active on the professional art scene since 1992. His approach is characterized by a broadened practice. As a performer, actor, collaborator, counselor, and choreographer, he takes part in projects that range from experimental theater to contemporary dance, including the interdisciplinary, giving priority to projects that tend to approach a more collaborative system.

His work have been presented in New York City, Berlin, Geneva, Bergen (Norway), Helsinki, France, Japan and throughout and Canada. In 2004, he founded his company Productions Laps. Bélanger has been commissioned by several institutions such as Montréal Danse, LADMMI l’école de danse contemporaine and the School of Dance of Ottawa, and by independent artists Peter Trosztmer, Anne-Marie Boisvert, Sarah Williams and Ève Garnier.
