ABOUT CATHERINE

Catherine Wilson, a graduate of Ballet Divertimento School since 2015, is an emerging contemporary dancer. During her studies, she had the opportunity to collaborate with Amélie Rajotte, Sonya Stefan, Gioconda Barbuto and Eric Miles. She has also completed several internships in Canada and abroad to experiment new and unusual ways of moving.

​

Catherine is interested in a gesture combining athleticism, fluidity and theatricality, all marked by a touch of politics. She likes to raise subjects like resilience and strength, as much as themes that reflect vulnerability, violence, and the western woman. Companies that inspire her: Hofesh Shechter, Jean-Pierre Perreault, Vim Vigor and Ultima vez.

​

In 2018, she became project manager and performer for her first substantial production, ELLES, choreographed by Andrea Peña. She also performs a solo by Sarah Manya and one by Daina Ashbee, presented in studio 303, about the image conveyed or felt by female sexuality. In 2019, she was invited as a panelist at Danse Transit to share her experience as an emerging artist. Catherine wishes to continue to collaborate, both as an interpreter and as a project manager, in creations with powerful and chaotic gestures that allow her to express her distress in the face of the current world.
