Grand Poney - Running Piece - Jacques Poulin-Denis

            RUNNING PIECE

Premiere in 2018

grandponey.com/en/projects/running-piece

Running Piece is a work for dancers and treadmill. 

On this confined yet infinite space, three champions travel without leaving, moving through the situations and moments that define us. 

On the path of humanity and civilisation, or on the transit to work, we are the high hope joggers, the overly capable multitaskers, the compulsive lateness sufferers. 

Running Piece substantiates our proneness to constantly chase our tails and our pursuit for the divine sublimity of busyness.

Running Piece will officially premiere at the Agora de la danse in Montreal, April 18-21, 2018.

JACQUES POULIN-DENIS
Artistic director

Jacques Poulin-Denis is a composer, choreographer, director and performer. Undertaking projects that blur the boundaries between dance, music and theater, he creates humanistic and uncanny works that are both sensorial and thought provoking. 

To gently knock the spectator off center, he puts forth the strength within the vulnerability of the characters he brings to life.

Counting over twelve different productions, Jacques Poulin-Denis’ work has been seen in over twenty cities across Canada, as well as in the United States, Europe and Asia. 

An associated artist of La Chapelle Theater in Montreal from 2012 to 2015, he was awarded a two month residency in Berlin during the Tanz Im August Festival, as well as several choreographic research periods in Montreal, Victoria, Vancouver, Bassano and Seoul.

He develops an interdisciplinary approach to creation, which he regularly teaches through workshops and master classes. 

He is a close collaborator of choreographer Mélanie Demers and has been active with her company, Mayday, as a composer and performer since 2006. 

Jacques Poulin-Denis is the winner of an Isadora Duncan Dance Awards, San Francisco in 2004 and a Saskatoon Area Theater Award in 2009.
