Two modern rhapsodes of body and space, multidisciplinary creators who strive to expose the intimate relationship between self and movement. By means of new experiences during their workshops, performances and collaborations, they meet each other through their immersive worlds.
Laura is an atypical and passionate performer. Her training in classical ballet and the influence of choreographic, commercial and street styles, in conjunction with a contemporary movement stripped of lines, sees her artistic signature emerge as a creator of movements. When she dances, regardless of the style, Laura commits to inhabiting the role and space offered to her. Technical skills are important, although the exchange of emotions sparked by performative vulnerability is her main quest.
Laura Perron
William - Nicolas is a sensitive creator and performer who succeeds in oscillating between prose and movement to push the audience to be absorbed in dreamlike, imaginary worlds, through a singular approach to the body and space.
He likes to break down the disciplinary boundaries of art, so that it is imbued with knowledge; that a mixture is created becoming an inseparable whole.

Our growing passion for teaching and our increased curiosity regarding the psychological development of the dancer have led us to experiment with new learning techniques, such as the importance of integrating discussion spaces coupled with "pragmatic" exercises, as well as incorporating the idea of “games” as a main working approach.
We discovered that artists have a deep need to connect with their emotions. They are hungry to understand them; to understand each other. This is why our teaching method is based on values of exchange, connection and sharing.

TITLE: CONCOMITANT ANGLE
The objective is to create a version of conferences that is based on the methodology and results of our research. Highlighting the intellectual abilities of artists, their understanding of their art and various related notions. Then to enrich an intellectual abundance within an artistic community.
Why: We want to establish a connection with our community. Build an alternative platform dedicated to meeting, intended for sharing. This process is roughly equivalent to peer review in traditional research and science.
How: By offering a platform that exposes the process and the sums of our findings, artists in the field can react immediately through a period of discussion and critical interactions. To our knowledge, this formula more or less does not exist at present.
Purpose: To do what we call a peer review. In this case, with professional dancers from the metropolitan scene of Quebec. (exchanges, discussions and critiques on the content and form of the residency and the conference).
*We plan to subsequently rework the conference format and present it in schools and academic settings, such as in institutional or private schools recognized by the government.

From a more macroscopic perspective, her interest within her projects remain in the interaction with others, that is through community and collaboration. It is, among other things, the aspect of partnerwork / partening, precisely its tactile, tangible, visual or simply communicative notion, which fuels her curiosity for movement. Her perseverance and constant involvement in the professional field of performing arts demonstrates the desire to reconnect with her deepest essence, that is the essential elements of childhood: curiosity, amusement and connection.

Since his professional debut, he quickly found himself captivated by the creative process. He focuses more on the nature relating to bodily communication and the depth of the coalition between language and human experience. A part of the sociology of discourse, which assumes that language in its use, both in its aesthetic and functional manner, is a manifesto of the identity of an individual and dynamically influences the real world that we perceive. This is therefore part of a personal quest to establish an alternative conceptual dramaturgy which, he dares to hope, will contribute to many of their projects.

Our foundation; philosophy
What resonates within us as the foundation in all of our works is to integrate the notion of humanity, ours precisely. That is to say, to conceive of art as a means of expression which is inspired and consciously reorganizes a given experience of reality into a signed aesthetic product. Concretely, we build our pieces on personal experience - we treat them as a communicative act. By combining various bodily techniques, we also use conspicuous iconic codes and create parallels with language sciences as creative guidelines.
Proust said that the prestige of the artist is his ability to remove the veil of mediocrity that everyday life covers over things.
In other words, our role is to make the trivial, which is usually boring and lacking in interest, particularly intriguing. We like to believe that dance can be whatever we want it to be, from this perspective where it is a way to contribute, to entertain and to contradict oneself. Integrate the ineffable ridiculousness of our daily actions and our comical discordances and incongruences.
Our movement; Applied
Partner work is our gateway to this relationship between body and mind. The interactional link occurs through contact with others, reflecting our own identity like a mirror of the soul. This allows us to perceive our singular identity. Without it, it is probably perilous to fully understand what distinguishes us, or even who we are.
Thus, this work of pas de deux is a pillar of research and an engine of inspiration and creation. We use what our bodies naturally generate, and organize them to create new and immersive experiences. It then serves to give it an air of going, and this air of going is our artistic signature: it emerges, either through the influence of choreographic, commercial and street styles (Break-Dancing, Hip -Hop, Popping) combined with an atypical contemporary movement stripped of lines and control of form.
