Harold Rhéaume

Choreographer – International Choreographers Retreatֿ

Lively force of Quebec’s artistic milieu, Harold Rhéaume built a prolific, accessible, authentic and profoundly human work since his beginnings in Le Groupe de la Place Royale in 1989. Intuitive, admirative of Fred Astaire’s work, art, architecture and human relation, he suggests a sensitive, sculptural and expressive dance. An author’s dance, theatrical and aesthetical, charming throughout Quebec, Canada, France, Belgium, Scotland and United States. The artistic director and general co-director of Le fils d’Adrien danse contributes greatly to the progress and the promotion of contemporary dance in the area of the National capital and beyond. Polyvalent artist, he is the artistic director of his own company Le fils d’Adrien danse (Adrien’s son is dancing), named after his father. He is also a teacher, facilitator, lecturer and artistic consultant. He was invited many times to create for other dance company, dance schools and also theater and circus company, symphonic orchestra and operas. In love with the beauty, the strength and the vulnerability that dance can vehicle, he chose that art form to approach the sublime. For him, the dancer carries the experiences and it is through his sensitivity that he transmits the essence of his dance. A relationship of self to another. A gesture of emotion, unexpected and elusive.
