Katya Montaignac
Dramaturge, Chercheur.se, Enseignant.e
As a dance artist and dramaturg based in Tiohtiá:ke/Mooniyang/Montreal, Katya creates and collaborates on choreographic projects she likes to call “unidentified dancing objects”. In situ and participatory works, in(ter)disciplinary seminars and performative banquets, her approach is committed to a practice of invitation and dialogue, involving a diversity of bodies and voices (Pluton and ATTABLER with La 2e Porte à Gauche, Nous (ne) sommes (pas) tous des danseur·euses with Sophie Corriveau, Sacrer with street dancers and We Dream Better Together with La Pieuvre…). She teaches and writes about dance (De la glorieuse fragilité: l’Abécédaire; Tribunes sur la danse ; Journal of an anonymous choreographer and for the magazines Percées and Liberté…).
