A beautiful collective journey
“La Traversée perfectly captures the joyful and uplifting spirit that carried us throughout this beautiful adventure. Bravo to our dancers for this wonderful achievement!”
— Sylvain Émard
This third collaboration with Espace Transition ended on a high note, with four performances across three different events, proudly showcasing the creative process of the young participants and the strong bonds that were formed among them.
35 years that make a difference
Integration, communion, social cohesion… These are dominant themes that have marked the 35-year trajectory of Sylvain Émard Danse. In addition to the thirty or so creations already in its repertoire, one of the flagship events in this year’s festivities bear witness to the ability of Sylvain Émard Danse to bring dance and society together in a unifying spirit.
La Traversée, an ensemble piece created with a majority of 15 young people living with stabilized mental health conditions, will be presented on May 22 in the Atrium at CHU Sainte-Justine hospital. This inspiring creation is a testament to Sylvain Émard’s human-centred projects.
