Marie Chouinard

In this second of two episodes, Marie Chouinard reacts to the view that her early solo work was provocative, and that she pushes her dancers to extremes, referring in particular to bODY_rEMIX / gOLDBERG_vARIATIONS. She talks about her latest choreographic achievement, THE GOLDEN MEAN (LIVE), which premiered at the Vancouver 2010 Cultural Olympiad, and about her collaboration with Montreal composer Louis Dufort. In closing, Marie touches on her dual role within Compagnie Marie Chouinard.

Marie then tells us about her transition to group works and describes her creative process.
