Sylvie-Ann Paré
Sophie Corriveau has worked in contemporary dance for over 35 years as a performer, creator, teacher, rehearsal director and artistic adviser. After training at the École supérieure de danse du Québec, she began her career with the Theater Ballet of Canada and joined Montréal‑Danse from 1989 to 1993. Since 1993 she has been an independent dancer, collaborating with many choreographers in both creation and repertoire while exploring improvisation. In 2014 she ventured into choreography with the solo Jusqu’au silence, presented at Agora de la danse in collaboration with her brother, visual artist Thomas Corriveau. From 2014 to 2016 she held the Interprète en résidence grant at Agora de la danse; this residency culminated with the event Nous ne sommes pas tous des danseurs, which featured danced round tables
JURY NOTES
The jury commended the longevity of the career, commitment to the dance community, the ability to reinvent herself and the contribution to teaching. Her contribution as a performer to creation is unique. The originality of her project “Nous (ne) sommes (pas) tous des danseurs,” presented at the Agora de la danse, also impressed the jury.
