Give for Joe!

For almost two years, Espace Perreault has been enthusiastically working on producing a choreographic toolkit that will document and transmit the piece Joe by Jean-Pierre Perreault.

The initiative is headed up with great passion by Ginelle Chagnon, who had the good fortune to be Jean-Pierre Perreault’s assistant. She is handling the coordination and writing for this major project to resurrect a piece that made a deep mark on the local choreographic landscape.

The Joe Choreographic Toolkit is supported by the Conseil des arts et des lettres, but – in production, and much like Joe itself – the project has turned out to be much broader in scope and more costly than anticipated.

So Espace Perreault needs your support to finalize this incredible project!

Many thanks in advance!
