Camille Gendron

Camille Gendron, a contemporary dance artist based in Tiohtià:ke/Mooniyang/Montreal, navigates between performing, directing rehearsals and, more recently, a burgeoning dramaturgical practice.

A spirit sensitive to the jolts of play that goes nowhere without her scribbled notebook, Camille immerses herself in her body as one tends a garden: with assiduity, depth and wonder. Her creative embers ignite on contact with work requiring great physicality, and are fanned by the playground of a given ecosystem, whether scenographic or natural.

Camille holds a bachelor's degree in dance from UQÀM, and has worked on stage in Rhodnie Désir's latest creation, Symphonie de coeurs, and continues to work - under multiple hats - alongside up-and-coming choreographers such as Rozenn Lecomte, Mara Dupas and Melina Pires. In 2024, these collaborations took her to the stages of the NAC (Ottawa) and the LAC (Lugano), as well as digging into body, mind and books during residencies at La Fabrik (Potsdam) and La Bellone (Brussels).

Camille chose the performing arts out of a desire for frank, assertive human connections, perceiving them as a space that generates intangible links that transcend our individualism and push back the boundaries of our intimacy.
