DESCRIPTION:In the Ballroom:\nClose to the Floor\n\n\n\n\nDive into the lively practice of traditional québécois dances! \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 February 10\, let yourself be drawn into a journey of rhythm\, where the québécois jig dances with its cousins from elsewhere\, with Maude Filion and Sabin Jacques (accordion). \n  \n\n\n\nProgram: \n-Short concert\n-Short historical introduction to jig\n-Jig workshop \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  \nInvité(e)s \n \n\nCredit: Carbo Photo \n\n  \n  \nMaude Fillion découvre la danse traditionnelle alors qu’elle est toute jeune et fera ensuite partie de la troupe de spectacle de la compagnie de danse Manigance pendant plus de 10 ans avant d’en assurer la direction artistique pendant 5 ans. Elle a dansé sur plusieurs scènes différentes dans 7 pays\, incluant plus de 15 ans dans le spectacle invité sur les bateaux de croisières qui accostent dans le port du Vieux-Québec. En parallèle\, elle enseigne la gigue et la danse traditionnelle québécoise depuis 2004\, entre autre pour le Club Gigus. En 2022\, elle rejoint le groupe celtique McCool et en 2023\, elle rejoint la distribution du Match d’improvisation giguée\, qui tourne actuellement dans différentes salles au Québec. Récemment boursière du Conseil des Arts et Lettres du Québec et du Conseil des Arts du Canada\, Maude s’intéresse à d’autres types de gigue et se forme auprès de plusieurs mentor(e)s. Elle se questionne sur les variations techniques qui les différencient ou les relient à la gigue québécoise. \n— \n \nCredit: Carbo Photo \nSabin Jacques s’est taillé une brillante réputation dans le milieu de la musique traditionnelle québécoise. Gaspésien d’origine\, il est reconnu dans son milieu autant au Québec que sur la scène internationale. De 1992 à 2009\, il fait d’importantes rencontres avec des artistes populaires : Édith Butler\, Hugues Aufray\, Jean-Pierre Ferland et Grégory Charles. Il participe à l’hommage à Alfred Montmarquette qu’initie le regretté harmoniciste Gabriel Labbé. Installé en Chaudière-Appalaches depuis 2009\, il cofonde le Camp de Souches à Oreilles\, haut lieu bouillonnant de transmission en patrimoine vivant. Sabin a permis\, en tant que formateur\, à des centaines de musiciennes et musiciens\, amateurs ou professionnels\, de s’initier ou d’approfondir leurs connaissances de la musique traditionnelle du Québec. Récemment décoré de plusieurs prix en lien avec son dernier album intitulé Grandes Rencontres\, Sabin Jacques possède jeu sensible et virtuose. \n  \n\nDans la salle de bal — Musique et danse traditionnelles d’une communauté est présenté en collaboration avec le Centre de valorisation du patrimoine vivant Ès TRAD et rendu possible grâce au soutien financier du Gouvernement du Québec et de la Ville de Québec\, à travers leur Entente de développement culturel. \nDécouvrez la programmation complète ici!
