SUMMARY:In the Ballroom: Children's Dances and their Origins
DESCRIPTION:In the Ballroom:\nChildren’s Dances and their Origins\n\n\n\n\nDive into the lively practice of traditional québécois dances! \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nJoin us for five exciting events celebrating québécois dance and music traditions\, some of which are rooted in English-speaking communities that have long helped shape our province’s cultural landscape. If you are curious\, love living heritage activities\, or simply want to move and have fun\, come experience the energy of traditional dances and the stories behind them with our Ès TRAD guests! \n  \nOn March 8\, young and old are invited to discover traditional dances and their origins to wrap up spring break with a bang with Hélène Fournier (call)\, Miriam Blair (violin)\, and Maxence Croteau (guitar). \n  \n\n\n\nProgram: \n-Dance workshop for all ages\n-Live music throughout! \n  \nThis activity is offered bilingually\, in both French and English. \nPlease bring comfortable shoes with with good support and non-adherent soles\, as well as a water bottle.\n\nBook your tickets here!\n\n\n\n\n\n  \nGuests \n \nSinger\, caller\, artisan\, and cultural animator with no equal\, Hélène Fournier is without a doubt an accomplished bearer of heritage\, as highlighted by the prize she received from Ville de Québec in 2019. With education in Popular art and traditions (Ethnology) and in Education sciences from Université Laval\, she specializes in connecting with a young public through her experiences at the Centre d’initiation au patrimoine–La Grande Ferme de  Saint-Joachim\, as well as through her punctual projects\, notably the CD-book Le bal des animaux\, Dansons sous les flocons and her call classes. \nTo learn more about Hélène Fournier\, listen to the Ès TRAD podcast “Porter la tradition.” \n— \n  \n \n  \n  \nMiriam Blair is a passionate artist. She loves playing the violin and put her talents to use for the benefit of Québécois traditional music. She has a wide enough repertoire to waltz easily between Celtic and Québécois styles (both ancient and modern). \n  \n— \n  \n  \n\n\n\n  \n  \n \nCredit: Carbo Photo \nMaxence Croteau was exposed to traditional music from a very young age\, as he accompanied his parents to festivals such as Mémoires et Racines and Chants de Vielles\, participated in evenings at the Domaine Maizerets and the Poulailler d’Inverness\, and attended shows at the Maison Chevalier or the honey farm in St-Agapit\, his birth village. As a teen\, he started learning to play the guitar\, his main instrument\, but it took many years before trying his hand at accompanying reels\, jigs\, and waltz. It’s in 2014\, at the Souches à Oreilles camp\, that he was initiated into this art by Paul Marchand and met\, at the same time\, the “great trad family.” The following yeas were marked by jam sessions\, shows\, dances\, and many other gatherings. Maxence mainly plays the guitar\, but also some violin\, concertina\, banjo\, piano\, and harmonica. Today\, he works as a contract musician\, hosts trad shows on CKRL 89\,1\, and dedicates himself to various initiatives aiming to preserve trad culture and support those that make it live. \n  \n\nIn the Ballroom—Traditional Music and Dance of a Community is presented in collaboration with the Centre de valorisation du patrimoine vivant Ès TRAD and made possible thanks to financial support from the Gouvernement du Québec and Ville de Québec through their cultural development agreement. \nCheck out the full programming here!

SUMMARY:Creative Community: The Hat Trick
DESCRIPTION:Creative Community:\nThe Hat Trick\n\n\n\n\nLearn about circus creation through hat juggling with Yohann Trépanier! \n\n\n\n\n \nDuring this introductory workshop\, we explore the hat as an object of play and movement. Through juggling\, manipulation\, clowning\, and dancing\, we experience skill\, clumsiness\, and the pleasure of gesture. The hat becomes a playing partner\, a pretext for improvisation\, and a support for expression\, in a fun\, accessible\, and progressive approach. \n  \n\n\n\nProgram: \n– Presentation\, in French\, about contemporary circus and hat juggling \n– Bilingual Q&A \n– Hat juggling workshop (English and French used in an alternating fashion) \nThis workshop is open to all (16 years old and older); no previous experience is required. You will be provided with hats. Please bring comfortable indoor shoes.\n\nBook your tickets here!\n\n\n\n\n\n  \nGuest \nA circus artist since 2004\, Yohann Trépanier has developed an artistic universe that is both comic and poetic\, and where the relationship between the body and the object is at the heart of his creativity. He constantly explores new aspects of circus arts and shares his work with diverse audiences from around the world. \nA graduate from the École de cirque de Québec (2007) and the National Circus School in Montreal (2012)\, Yohann stands out for his creativity and proactivity. He made a name for himself with the duo Les Beaux Frères and the essential comic number La Serviette (Napkin). He also co-founded Machine de Cirque\, a company with an international reputation where he was involved as a performer and creator of its several major productions. At the same time\, he nurtured a research and development practice\, through which the oscillating mast for circus acts emerged\, among other things. \nCredit: Marie-Ève Kingsley \nAlways questioning his art and his practice\, Yohann gives depth and singularity to his projects\, whether they are about interpretation\, creation or training. His approach values ​​sharing and exchange\, inviting an artistic experience that is both personal and collective\, and demonstrates an innovative approach to circus arts. \n\n  \nThis activity is part of the Creative Community—Making Art Together project\, made possible thanks to the support of the Government of Canada.
