De Studio
Research project: Andrée-Anne Ratthé
Residence
January to June 2011
This new choreographic is divided into time-limited capsules of 2, 3, 4 and 10 minutes. Each one is constructed directly in relation to De Studio using both projection and symbolic space. The work is on raw movement — rock, efficient — inspired by popular images and the virtual world.
With the participation of Corinne Crane-Demarais, Chantal Hausler, Marie-Joëlle Hadd, Josianne Latreille and Ariane Paradis

SPACE OUT, opening of the experimental studio De Studio
Exhibition and performance
December 3 to 6, 2009
Guided by curator Marie Fraser, students in the course “Organising an exhibit” offered by the Art History Department of the Université du Québec à Montréal, invited visual artists, choreographers, dancers and musicians to be part of De Studio — Lynda Gaudreau’s experimental studio — opening.
To be “spaced out”, to be disoriented, not connected, lost.
SPACE OUT offers an immersive experience where dance, site specific installation, sculpture and soundscape mingle in a vaporous environment. Feed by reminiscence, the visitor is invited to wander in the space and to create his or her own dialogue with the works. Playing on notions of appearing and disappearing, the exhibit is a complete and organic universe, echoing the human body.
