«... being together on stage for the first time was a chance not to be missed!»
OLIVIA MARCOTTE
How long have you been dancing? Briefly, tell us about your artistic background in dance?
I started dancing at DansEncorps when I was 4 years old; I've been dancing for 16 years now. I have been part of all the pre-professional programs at DansEncorps, including the Jeune Troupe for 4 years. Then, I went to study in Ottawa, where I danced with the uOttawa Dance Club. This year, because of the pandemic, I am in Moncton and back at DansEncorps!
How many times have you participated in the Creation Dance program?
I have participated 7 times in the Création Dance program, this will be my eighth time this year.
How is your participation in the 2020 edition different for you? Is there a particular reason you chose to create a work this year?
My participation in the 2020 edition is very different for me. First, because I didn't expect to do another creation after graduating in 2018, but also because I am dancing with my two younger sisters. That's why I decided to participate this year; being together on stage for the first time was a chance not to be missed!
