About PPS Danse
Introduction
Since its inception in 1989, PPS Danse has dedicated itself to the creation, production and dissemination of innovative dance works as well as to the development of audience appreciation and the support of young artists. Works are distinguished by their multidisciplinary and multimedia nature with dance remaining the main focus. Accessibility, the integration of new technologies, and works based on the complexities of human communication and relationships are all at the heart of PPS Danse.
Major productions include Strata, mémoires d’un amoureux, as well as Duodénum, Bagne and Pôles, a trilogy of works created and performed by Pierre-Paul Savoie and Jeff Hall, the latter having been created in collaboration with Michel Lemieux and Victor Pilon. Since its inception, PPS Danse has presented more than 400 performances in numerous cities throughout Canada, the US, and Europe including Portugal, Spain, Germany, Norway, Belgium, Austria, Hungary, France and Holland. Bagne was performed eight times in 2000 at New York’s Joyce Theater and received a Bessie Award for Set Design in October 2001.
