Parcours Danse is an integral part of La danse sur les routes du Québec (La DSR)’s mission, which is to work closely with artists, companies and presenters to advance dance, sustain its vitality and increase its audience. Developed and produced by La DSR, Parcours Danse has positioned itself as one of the leading platforms dedicated exclusively to dance in North America. It brings together up to 300 professionals from Quebec, Canada and abroad, including some 100 presenters and some 150 artists, creative companies, agents and other cultural workers.
The programming of Parcours Danse tends to show a diverse picture of dance by selecting official showcases, facilitating the presentation of off-program works and organizing content-related activities that nurture and reinforce ties between artists, agents and presenters.
The Official Selection for the 2023 edition includes some 20 projects, including full-length works, excerpts, seminar demonstrations, site-specific projects, content-related activities, cultural mediation projects and digital projects. We are looking for projects with a variety of aesthetics, from contemporary dance, classical ballet and jazz to urban dance, powwow, jigging and flamenco, among others.
La danse sur les routes du Québec’s values include enhancement, openness, leadership, growth, commitment and transparency.
