Dare! is a one-of-a-kind artistic encounter between a choreographer and a group of dance performers, brought together to create an ephemeral, spontaneous and vibrant work before the eyes of the public. This collaborative creative experience is a founding concept of the choreographic company Danse K par K. It culminates in exclusive performances born from this artistic effervescence.
The 2026 edition takes root in Québec City and welcomes three choreographers from distinct artistic and cultural backgrounds: Natalia Vallebona (Belgium), Riikka Kosola (Finland), and James Gnam (Canada, Vancouver). Each will have a limited rehearsal period to bring a short dance piece to life—a tour de force made possible by the energy and drive of emerging artists, combined with the experience of more established performers. Whether outdoors, in a historic neighbourhood, or in the welcoming studios of Maison pour la danse de Québec, Dare! celebrates choreographic creation, with the public, in all its forms!
The activities of Dare! 2026 unfold around three themes:
- September 8 & 9: Exploring Nordicity
- September 10 to 12: Navigating Confluences
- September 15 to 19: Tracing the Horizon
Check back next week for the full program!
