Schools

We love to share our passion for contemporary dance with school groups. Our cultural mediation approach is rooted in human interaction and rests on values we hold dear, such as kindness, collaboration, generosity, inventiveness, intimacy, and risk-taking. We are convinced that contemporary art is a social force and we support creativity in contemporary dance in all its aesthetic movements and diverse forms.

SELF CHECKOUT
Full à l’aise

This show explores adolescence as a time of permission: the permission to be lost, carefree, curious, and different. Equipped with cowpoke lassos, a blue ukulele and a mobile music station, the three performers from the self checkout collective interrogate the social codes and performance that alienate bodies during the adolescent experience in the digital age. How do we set joy and confidence free? How does constraint become gentle? Through a fantastical sensory journey blending contemporary dance, comedy and DIY spirit, chaos becomes livable. And comes the permission, at last, to be full à l’aise.

Tangente would like to thank Diffusion En Scène | Théâtre Gilles-Vigneault, partner of our program A Show for Young Audiences. Artist Céline Richard Robichon benefited from a residency thanks to our partner.
