Mandoline Hybride

Mandoline Hybride’s mission is the development of contemporary art, with dance as its anchor. Since its foundation in 2007, its research, creation, dissemination and mentorship projects, aim to (re) think the place and scope of art in society, from critical perspectives. The development of emerging artists, attention concerning the inclusion of diverse voices, as well as the importance of the renewal of the practice are the organization’s priorities. Under the direction of Priscilla Guy, the company fulfills its mandate through 4 permanent components:

Regards Hybrides
Founded in 2012 by Priscilla Guy and Claudia Hébert, the project aims to promote the expression, development and outreach of practices and discourses that border between dance and cinema.
