Brigitte Lachance invites the Montreal community to a workshop that is both theoretical and experiential, aimed at discovering the basics of the Laban-Bartenieff movement analysis method.
The work developed by Rudolf Laban and Irmgard Bartenieff has a vast vocabulary of movement. It reveals the many ways in which the body can express itself and move through space while respecting alignments and dynamic connections.
This workshop will allow you to explore the ability to analyze dynamic body movement in order to enhance your communication skills and understand your natural preferences. It is an invitation to delve into the underlying principles of movement where Brigitte will guide you beyond technique towards integrating the dancing body as a whole.
We accept only a limited number of participants. Please reserve your spot, and if you cannot attend, please let us know so we can accept a participant from the waiting list.

Holder of a Master's degree in Rehabilitation Research from the School of Rehabilitation of the Faculty of Medicine (UdeM) and a Bachelor of Arts in Dance (UQAM), Brigitte Lachance has been working as a physiotherapist for 20 years with populations affected by physical disabilities. Her studies at the Martha Graham School of Contemporary Dance and the Laban-Bartenieff Institute of Movement Studies in New York were decisive in the original design of the dance therapy program for physical disabilities created in 2006. In 2015, she completed her training in the specialized dance therapy program at the National Center for Dance Therapy of Les Grands Ballets Canadiens.
As a guest lecturer in France and in several Canadian universities, she now divides her time between teaching Laban-Bartenieff principles, research, and the implementation of dance therapy programs. She splits her time between Montreal, where she offers somatic education sessions, and Baie James, where she works with the Cree Health Board of the James Bay region.
