Best way to close this amazing and transfigurative

Best way to close this amazing and transfigurative year, on the Oaxaca coast with @janellehacault and friends! ✨ Releasing the nervous system feels incredible, especially with a sunset like that 🫠 So grateful for this year rich in learning, mourning, taking possession of my light and professional anchoring. It's a hell yes!! Here we go 2023, and cheers to all the possibilities to come!! 😍 📸 @janellehacault #mazunte #puntacometa #mexico #art #dance #lessanspapiers #dancer #gayboy #queer #artist #mover #gay #sunset #entrepreneur #limitless #queerman #freelancer #lgbtq #instagay #photography #montreal

It's with the feeling of completion and the sensa

It is with the feeling of completion and the feeling of the work accomplished that I conclude a fantastic professional year filled with creativity, learning, encounters, mourning, celebration and possibilities. I feel energetically at a major turning point in my life where the hard work of the last 10 years is starting to make lots of little babies. I am approaching my Jesus year after all! The research phase has just ended for Homo Deus (working title), a 55-minute solo creation that will be released in the fall of 2023 and I am filled with gratitude for the team that accompanies me in this hectic creative roller coaster. So excited to see what 2023 has in store for us! Today I'm sharing a first image from the photoshoot made at the beginning of the research, more to follow in the coming weeks 😉 Photographic artistic direction and photo credit: @damiansiqueirosphoto Floral design by @reubenmarkstewart *********** *************************** Collective creation team for Homo Deus: Performer-choreographer: Charles-Alexis Desgagnés Director of rehearsals and advisor to the dramaturgy: Sophie Michaud Light designer: @claire.seyller Sound and musical designer: @a.madamada Scenographic and costume designer: @oliviapaudet Choreographic mentors: José Navas and @haroldrheaume External eye and sporadic rehearsal: @janellehacault Production management: @geraldinel_d and Charles-Alexis Desgagnés General production: @les.sans.papiers Representation and media relations: @sheila_skaiem from Avec Sheila Research, creative residency, funding and dissemination partners for Homo Deus: - @circuit_est - @ecole_superieure_de_ballet - @ compagnieflak - @larotondedanse - @agoradanse - @ottawadancedirective - @citadelcie_ - @lefilsdadrien - @lecalq #art #creation #queer #queerart #queerartist #solo #homodeus #mycelium #arte #portraitphotography #gayboy #gayman #gay #instagay #dance # choreography #danceportrait #flowers #contemporaryart #dancer
