Clash’s second residency was held at Tangente from February 4 to 16, this time with choreographers Anne Thériault and Nicolas Cantin, and UQÀM students Sarah Dell’ava, Jade Marquis, Mélina Lalande Gauthier and Luce Boily Minville. Each choreographer created five one-minute proposals, which explored space and scenography using objects, light and Tangente’s space. Visual artists Serge Murphy, Yan Giguère and Alexandre David, and curators and theorists Sonia Pelletier, Bernard Schütze and Marie Fraser were involved in discussions and exchanges to feed and enrich the choreographic research.
