« Laurin's constant courage and open-mindedness are qualities that mark O Vertigo, impelling it to take new risks with the playful fearlessness its name implies. »

Linde Howe-Beck, Dance International , automne 2006

 

 

ÉTUDE #3 POUR CORDES ET POULIES

 

“The metaphor of the connections that join us and keep us apart

is rendered in visually breathtaking tableaus.”

Frédérique Doyon, Le Devoir, Montreal, Canada, March 9 2007

 

 

Angels

 

"What's great about the artistry in ANGELs is that Laurin has repositioned herself, imbuing the work with an unobtrusive tone, yet one that is undeniably

personal, human and true."
Philip Szporer, Ballet tanz, Germany, March 2006

 

 

Passare, or Another shape for infinity

 

 

A sensitive and infinite revelation

"Invention in every step, poetry in every intention, and tenderness in every gesture: Ginette Laurin's choreography is a sensitive and infinite revelation."

La Voix du Nord, Lille, France, April 10 2004

Dancing by traces

"A trajectory drawn on the table and reproduced, the image reworked, the memories distorted: the processes are diverse, well chosen and extremely well done. Sets and costumes are devilishly inventive and sophisticated to a fault. Nevertheless, it's when the choreography abandons this whole conceptual apparatus that its point is most clearly pertinent—when this shattering, soaring dance abruptly breaksoff—that we feel the magic of this research on the dancer's traces."

Philippe Verrièle, Le Journal des spectacles, Paris, May 2004

"Movement, light, color, shadow, darkness-everything in Passare comes together to create images that takes the viewer on a journey into the realm of things unimaginable because unproven."

Was ist los?, Linz, Austria, April 19 2004

"Laurin's inventiveness is O Vertigo's primary attraction. She played upon trace elements of memory in Passare, and how they intertwined and altered form in a sometimes clever, sometimes poignant, nearly always surprising fashion."

Pittsburgh Post-Gazette, Pittsburgh, May 17 2004

"It's about the brevity of life. About the way we stagger through its rapid pace like remote-controlled puppets, trying to catch a breath or a moment of rest. But in the background, the clock ticks relentlessly on, and someone is counting down to the finish. And that's one of the most impressive moments in this intense and gesturally rich choreography. As one dancer counts from 0 to 127 in time with the clock, the dancers move at breakneck speed, hurtling into one another and pushing each other away, falling and scrambling back up-only to be asked by the timekeeper just how they were feeling at 122."

OÖNachrichten, Linz, Austria, April 19 2004

"moments of shivering beauty that brush the sublime."
The Guardian, London, October 20, 2004

"Ginette Laurin's company performs with energetic appeal a complexity of movement sequences. What's most impressive, apart from the dancing itself, is Laurin's use of space. Here, she is veritably an architect of space, working with an immense depth of field, carving the space with her dancing bodies."
Ballet-tanz, Berlin, October 2004
