Une idée sinon vraie… Created in collaboration with the Bozzini Quartet and composer Ana Sokolović, this new piece revolves around the latter’s Commedia dell’arte I and II, a work in seven movements and four interludes.

May 2, 3 and 4, Cinémathèque québécoise, Montreal
On May 2, 3 and 4, a three-day conference in Montreal will focus on the preservation and transmission of performance art and contemporary dance. The Fondation Jean-Pierre Perreault and the Institut du patrimoine of the Université du Québec à Montréal are co-organizing this international event, which will bring together theorists and professionals from the two artistic disciplines.
As Chairman of the Fondation Jean-Pierre Perreault, Marc Boivin is delighted to speak of the achievements of the Fondation, which is devoted to the preservation and promotion of Quebec’s contemporary dance heritage.
Technical classes in Montreal this spring
The good weather will bring Marc Boivin back to the city, where he will give two series of technical classes, the last of the season.
Combining the Limón technique with principles of ballet, these workshops are designed to establish a balance between strength and freely released weight of momentum, between clarity of impulse within and the outward relationship to space, through form and focus.
