Dance is everywhere! It is a rallying force. It is inventive,
intriguing and sometimes participatory. When presented outside,
in a street or church square, along a riverbank, or on a quay
or some other unusual setting, dance has the power to spark
momentous encounters within a community.
Jouer dehors comprises numerous performances selected
for their artistic quality, originality and adaptability. La danse sur
les routes du Québec, presenter of Jouer dehors, invites you to
experience dance in places where people meet and to celebrate
the soft light of this beautiful season!
Gibson Muriva and his company invite everyone to celebrate
women and other oppressed parties who are blocked from
others and from determining their own destinies. Audiences
will be immediately swept away by the energy of SISI*and
the rich physical movements of traditional African dance
combined with the precision of ballet, jazz and contemporary
dance. Demanding change, yet expressing hope in the search
for universality, the choreographer expresses a resonant
message that seeks to find what unites us,
rather than what divides us.
*Means «sister» in Shona

Touring throughout 2011 and 2012, 1.2.3.LES PIEDS DANS
L’EAU is a choreography developed on the shores of the St.
Lawrence in Saint-Jean-Port-Joli. This work, inspired by the
river itself and featuring five dancers and four walk-ons, was
made to be danced on the infinite horizons of other places.
The choreographic arc is a voyage of discovery, looking at
how the child explores the metaphorical universe through
the game of pretending. Also available: Chantal Caron’s most
recent in-situ performance: ÎLE DES AILES, a work
for seven dancers featuring original music. This work evokes
the merciless battle of the snow goose as it attempts to
survive and reproduce.

Série Solos is both a performance and a unique dance
experience centred on the art of the solo. This project is
a path, in which audience members are asked to follow
dancers from one location to the next. It transforms the
usual definition of a stage to help other aspects float to the
surface: the spectator’s individual gaze and the personal
journey of each during the performance. The sites, which are
chosen beforehand with the organizers, can be either indoors
or outdoors. Each solo is presented one after the other, and
sometimes even simultaneously.

Série Solos
“An excellent project for attracting new audiences to dance.
A high-quality, uncompromising choreography that can be
adapted to different indoor or outdoor spaces.”
Spect’Art Rimouski
Choreographer: Louise Bédard
Performers: Three to five dancers, selected
from the following: Marie Claire Forté, Alanna
Kraaijeveld, Bernard Martin, Mark Eden-Towle and
Michel F. Côté (music).
Year created: 2011
Length: 30-60 minutes, according to the
performance space.
Required preparation: Based on the number of
venues chosen, one or two on-site rehearsals
will be required the day of or the day before the
performance, to adapt the work to the space.

Gallery, hall, square, public area, etc. These spaces
must, however, be safe and be approved by the
company.

audience members to watch how the work is
adapted to the space and to speak with performers
(when appropriate).

The concept behind Ecoute pour voir is based on the
desire to break out of the formal performance space and
humanize dance in a less formal setting. This brings the
spectator closer and in an environment that he or she
recognizes as being familiar. This works facilitates the union
between the spectator and the dancer with an iPod and
two sets of earphones. Presenting up to 16 simultaneous
solos, Ecoute pour voir is still intimate and danced
to the performer’s own selected music. Nomadic dancing,
a stroll meant for two, dialogue in a close space... A moment
that brings two people together through their common
love of music. Connected by a pair of earphones, the
spectator and dancer enjoy a unique experience every time.

LES INSTALLATIONS MOUVANTES descend on cafés, bistros
and patios like incredible apparitions. In a duo or quartet,
dancers immerse themselves in the scenery, sipping a coffee
or skimming a book. As various conversations unfold at
neighbouring tables, our accomplices gradually upend the
everyday with their poetic universe. Books become birds,
barricades and stairs. Cups turn into glasses, spaceships and
games of checkers. The dance, a vehicle to tell the history of
humanity, begins as commonplace gestures that transform
into a highly-evolved and refined choreography. After this
spontaneous outburst, our dancers return to their places,
sitting face-to-face, letting their performance echo quietly on.

Once upon a time, a star lost her way and her whole world
came crashing down. Set in an urban context, a factory
produces deprogrammed Snow Whites, far away from the
forest, her wicked stepmother and the seven dwarves. These
princesses explore their surroundings and quickly adapt to
the ebony-black and white-marble floors and the cherryred upholstery. In this work, Snow White is transformed
into a contemporary figure, strong and unbridled, but also
nervous and somewhat comatose. Rich with imagery, this
choreographic project poses questions of identity and human
disorientation with great humour. Ultimately, it uses its critical,
yet wild vision, to awake the curiosity of us all.
Manon fait de la danse
Où est Blanche-Neige ?
This choreography expresses the way we behave in society,
including our human and urban facades, as well as the codes
that keep up from screaming, running or dancing in public...
The four dancers in FAÇADES test these social attitudes
by taking over a public place and using their freedom and
expressivity to transform it into a space for choreographic
play, open to any kind of movement and image. The
environment, walls and park benches act as a pretext for
dance, as well as offering possibilities for physical and
acrobatic movement.

“You can continue to dance,” said the ant in disgust to the
poor grasshopper, who was the creator and victim of his own
misery. Channeling Aesop’s fable, the choreographer
revisits the universal themes of competition, harmony,
relationships and folly to affectionately snub the ant!
Six dancers move across the stage in a series of tableaux
vivants that reproduce daily life situations in a more playful
and poetic light.

Suggested ideas: A segment of the performance
can be taught to the audience during an activity.
Utopic and filled with humour and human warmth,
CHEZ SOI gives spectators both a unique experience about
living together and a fun encounter with dance. Swirling
around a mobile shelter than changes during the presentation,
four dancers create a unique relationship with the audience
through physical play that reveals the fragility, cruelty and
beauty of the group dynamic. Exploring the notion of “feeling
at home”, this performance invites spectators to experience an
extraordinary moment in an otherwise familiar setting.

Collectif NOES (NordOuestEstSud) presents TO GO
SOMEWHERE…, a choreography by Dominique Porte that is
inspired by the simple daily act of walking, which reveals our
relationship with balance and imbalance. This work invades
public spaces to underline the dynamic nature of each. The
audience is active, choosing their point of view and getting
mixed up in the unpredictable movements of the seven dancers
as they pursue their energetic and emotional paths. Dancers
and spectators swing and exaggerate the perception of their
living space. To Go Somewhere… makes us walk from one
location to the next in order to help us confront our nature and
the essence of the other.
