Marjorie Gignac

rAfter 10 years of experience in Afro-Cuban dance as an interpreter and teacher, Marjorie obtained her master's degree in art studies (art history and dance). She has always been drawn to the idea of "thinking knowledge in movement", which led her to specialize in interdisciplinary and transdisciplinary studies and avant-garde art.

This specialization led her to explore new forms of expression, including contemporary dance and performance art. Stéphanie Decourteille was her mentor for 4 years. She also trained with the Axis Syllabus method (Kelly Keanan) and Aekkus (Jérémie Fiset). She also had the opportunity to work with other experienced mentors in performance art and butô with Martine Viale, Sylvie Tourangeau and Rasili Botz.

Her interest in presence and bodily consciousness led her to follow a yoga training and travel, to explore new perspectives on identity and question the notion of the sacred.

In 2013, she created the BLOOM sacred dance method (MR), an approach to group bodily consciousness that combines Eastern energetic science and anti-theatrical principles of contemporary dance with unified physics.

This method proposes a process of liberation of the physical, emotional and mental body, where vital energy circulates and generates the vibrational change of perspective necessary for inner growth. It is a performative art movement in situ, where each participant becomes the artist of the collective work in progress.

After 25 years of teaching, and artistic advisor for various artists, Marjorie wants to touch people differently, now through the language of the body and symbolism. That's why, since 2023, she returns to the outside, where innovation is born.

She marks a return to interpretation and choreography. She creates a 25-minute solo work, Intemporel, where she then invites the public to interact with her and become a participant. Supported in residence creation at Espace Ouvert. Commissioned by PJE production for support in the realization of camera on the ceiling and games with lights. (Crédit : Espace sonore Anthony Neto, Installation In situ Vincent Tardif, photo Mélissa Vaillancourt). 

Intemporel is her first production, where the event scenography awakens the imagination by transforming the space into a cosmos, imbuing each person with a bodily trace of the process of flowering of Life.
