The most recent research phase of Running Piece will be presented at 7pm, November 28th, during the Mardi Culturel of the Arsenal thanks to a residency by Danse Danse. A second presentation will follow at 8pm as part of the Parcours Danse showcase.

Grand Poney wishes to transport you with Waltz, a tribute to mobility devised by Jacques Poulin-Denis. Equipped with fantastic sensors and athletic dancers, an oversized treadmill is perfectly synchronized to the subway trains. The 3 hour in situ installation offers a spin on our transportation culture.

At the Place-des-Arts station – FREE EVENT !

Tuesday February 21, 2017, from 5 to 8 pm.

Co-presented by Tangente and La SERRE – arts vivants for the  POSSIBLES project, as part of the official programming of the 375th anniversary of Montréal. In collaboration with the Ecole de danse contemporaine de Montréal and the Société de transport de Montréal.

Grand Poney’s latest work, (Very) Gently Crumbling will be at the biennale Manif d’art at the Musée national des beaux-arts du Québec, presented by La Rotonde, April 27 and 28, 2017.

As part of the Arsenal’s Cultural Tuesdays, Dominique T Skoltz presents an experience of her “Face to Face” installation. The audience becomes the witness of a secretive exchange between a man and a woman. Jacques Poulin-Denis, male dancer in the y2o project, will offer a choreographic and theatrical exploration located between the inside and the outside, between the private and the public. A solo that reveals the crack through which escape the secrets and confidences of the soul, drop by drop.

April 11 to 15, 2016, Jacques Poulin-Denis will be at Montreal’s Studio 303 to teach THE MECHANIC OF THE INVISIBLE. This workshop is open to choreographers, dance teachers, theatre directors and all those who want to learn basic techniques in sound design.

Jacques Poulin-Denis will be taking part of the NEXT conference, at the crossroads between Arts and business at the %e Salle of the Place des Arts on February 18 2016. The presenters will share personal and professional stories, all linked by a singular theme : how resilience has allowed them to learn, change and propel their careers.
