Biographies
Eryn Dace Trudell
_Dance artist, Eryn Dace Trudell is a certified Skinner Releasing Technique Facilitator and a Contact improvisor.
On receiving her BFA from Juilliard in 1991, she founded and co-artistically directed Damn Straight.
Her original choreographies include seven full length productions and several new Canadian operas and plays.
With a background in classical graham, Limon and Ballet, her practice embraces alternative dance techniques and improvisation. As a dancer she has had the pleasure of dancing with independent choreographers from Canada,
USA, Europe and South America and she has studied with Nancy Stark Smith, Peter Bingham, Andrew Harwood,
Ray Chung and Chris Aiken.
Nina Galea est professeur, danseuse et chorégraphe. Ses origines se situent en danse classique et moderne. Elle a enseigné et dansé en Europe pendant plusieurs années.
Nina dirige les volets contemporains aux Collèges Jean-Eudes et Sainte-Anne, où elle enseigne la danse moderne, l’improvisation, le contact improvisation et le mouvement authentique. Nina offre des ateliers d’improvisation et de contact improvisation sur une base régulière à l’extérieur de Montréal. Elle a étudié avec Andrew Harwood, Nancy Stark-Smith, Susan Schell, Martin Keogh et plusieurs autres. Nina est également chanteuse et photographe.
Stéphanie Gaudreau étudie le langage corporel et le contact improvisation depuis 1992. Elle est membre fondateur de l’ A.C.I et enseigne le contact improvisation.
Sa recherche s’inspire des approches somatiques, du massage, du yoga, du taï chi et de la méditation, avec pour objectif de rendre le corps et l’esprit disponibles et conscients. Elle est présentement en formation d’ostéopathie et tient une pratique privée comme massothérapeute.
Catherine Lessard
In my early twenties, I traveled in Europe and America, finding opportunities to train myself in Contact Improvisation, body expression and improvised dancing with international coaches: Nancy Stark-Smith, Kirstie Simpson, Patricia Kuypers, Franck Beaubois, K-J. Holmes… Native from Montreal, I lived in France for several years proposing workshops and intensive classes of CI for dancers, sports and martial arts adepts, and also for non-dancing/non-moving people.
Usually, my classes are explorations of human body’s expression in terms of breathing, self consciousness, self confidence, cellular awareness, non-judgement, slack-out and movement qualities.
