ARTISTS’ BIOGRAPHIES

The Choreographers is a group of 4 Montreal dance artists, Katie Ward, Thea Patterson, Peter Trosztmer and Audree Juteau who have banded together as part of an evil plan to take over the world! (or maybe just survive!) Between them they have worked with many Montreal choreographers and companies including: Marie Chouinard, Deborah Dunn, Montréal Danse, 4Dart, David Pressault (to name only a few). The Choreographers have presented their first piece Man and Mouse in Halifax, Montreal, at the Joyce Soho in New York, in Lennoxville, and at selected Maison de la Culture in Montreal.They are also active as creators and collaborators in their own work, and in other unique projects that inspire them- presenting dance is spaces ranging from small bars, to abandoned theatres, and larger stages across the country and internationally. www.thechoreographers.ca

In addition to his collaborations with both choreographers and performers Caroline Laurin-Beaucage and Anne Thériault, he creates audio performance (The watchmaker, with old clocks ; Pencil Project, with pencils) and designed sound installations (Sewing Machine Orchestra, with eight sewing machines dating from 1930-1940). As a videographer, he has directed short movies, including a diptych titled Autoportrait.
