WORKSHOP AND PERFORMANCE WITH QUARTIERS DANSES A performance will be offered to people living with dementia and their caregivers by the organization Quartiers Danses. The following is a description of the show: Brought to a breathtaking nature, three characters arrive, transform themselves, evolve and progress towards someplace else. Bound by a common vision, Katia Gagné, Jeffrey Hall and Lana Morton present three distinct creations and transpose the loophole of thought onto movement and images: when the reality of daily life confronts, provokes, causes friction and forces the axes of the unconscious to topple over. How can a transitional moment be revisited and reread through the body? Place des Arts  |  175 Sainte-Catherine Street East — Free Friday September 9 | 8:00 p.m.

* Those who wish to attend the performance are invited to participate in a preparatory workshop on August 30 from 10:00 to 11:00 a.m. This workshop will help participants better understand the performance and the creative world of the dancers.

MUSIC AND MOVEMENT WORKSHOPS Ten energizing and inspiring workshops that enable you to express yourself by way of song and movement! Through a variety of singing exercises, vocalizations, and popular songs, you will enjoy learning the fundamentals of the instrument that is your voice and awakening your body with exercises that aim to develop mobility, coordination, and rhythm. As a group, you will learn three songs which, at the end of the workshop series, you will perform to an audience at a small concert!
