Driven by the desire to create art that has a reason for being, Marie-Denise developed her company and devoted herself to several social art projects. Her recent creation, Lucioles, focuses on the resilience of seniors in CHSLDs, where she worked as an attendant during the pandemic. At the same time, Marie-Denise also teaches in her studios, a practice that keeps her connected to the authenticity of people from every ages. Having experienced heavy pressure associated with body standards in her own journey, Marie-Denise is keen to deconstruct the invisible norms of the environment and to promote difference in all its aspects. Speaking of the body as an intimate spaceship, she hopes to transmit tools of confidence and esteem for the new generation of dancers. Today, Marie-Denise is grateful for the multiple roles she takes on in dance. An ambitious and determined artist, her intuition and love of rhythm guide her in her objectives of transmitting, creating bridges and perpetuating her artistic relationships.
