Production

Since 2013, the workshops for dancers and non-dancers created by Ginelle Chagnon have helped revive Jean-Pierre Perreault’s choreographic repertoire throughout Quebec. The Danser Joe workshops, which are designed for amateur dancers and high school students through the Culture-Education directory, allow participants of all ages to immerse themselves in Jean-Pierre Perreault’s world and enjoy an unforgettable choreographic experience.

In 2015, the Fondation Jean-Pierre Perreault also collaborated on Au cœur des œuvres de Louise Bédard, a workshop at Agora de la danse.
