Dance artist / Curator, Festival Quartiers Danses – Montréal
Born and raised in New-Caledonia/Kanaky from Vietnamese descent, Charles Brécard is a dance artist, a curator for Festival Quartiers Danses, a sport massage therapist and poet based in Montreal/Tio’tia:ke, Canada. His approach « FLUIDIFY » connects his experience in traditional, contemporary, street dances, and his knowledge in bodywork, philosophies and spiritualities.
Thus, he is teaching in various contexts, from amateurs in cultural mediation to professionals during festivals, intensives or educational programs. His choreographies, imbued with a strong physicality, an epic and surreal aesthetic, a melancholic poetry and a lucid activism has been presented, awarded and recognized in Canada and Europe.
Stating that amidst our troubled era, art should first bring people together to build solidarity and celebration, he co-initiated a few community projects such as « Le Bercail », « Sacré Jam », « Protopie ».
