Choreographic Season in Sherbrooke

A work takes shape before your eyes

ImproDanse brings together dance, live music and lighting in a composition created entirely in real time. With no predetermined choreography, the artists build a work from a shared theme, their attentiveness to one another and prompts offered by the audience.

You do not simply witness the result—you enter the heart of the creative process.

Your presence shapes the evening

Throughout the performance, audience members are invited to share words, images, sensations or constraints. These contributions become artistic material: the performers translate them into movement, the music reveals their tensions, and the lighting reshapes the space.

Everyone is free to participate or simply observe. No previous knowledge of dance is required.

Composing with the unexpected

Onstage, performers, musicians and lighting artists move forward without knowing where the performance will lead. Each decision reshapes what follows. Attentiveness, risk and presence become the true driving forces of creation.

ImproDanse is at once a performance, an artistic laboratory and a space of encounter between artists and audiences.

A work that will exist only once

No two evenings can ever be reproduced. Each performance emerges from the singular encounter between a theme, a group of artists, an audience and a place.

In the spirit of Épaissisme, ImproDanse does not seek to simplify experience. It brings to light the relationships, tensions and possibilities that arise in the moment.

An experience open to everyone

ImproDanse welcomes both first-time dance audiences and those already familiar with contemporary creation. You may come to participate, observe the artists at work or simply allow yourself to be moved by what emerges.

Come with your perspective, your ideas and your curiosity. Your presence will become part of a work that can happen only once.
