How do today’s artists represent our dances on screens and while using new technologies? From what perspectives do they perceive our world and how do they use them to challenge social issues and reinvent our own perspectives?

This day of professional meetings and networking, interviews, master classes, and conferences is open to the public. At the end of the day, a jury comprised of international members will award the Lumière Prize to the creator of an exceptional work of art.
We invite artists from Ottawa, Canada, and abroad to register for this professional day which aims to build bridges between creators and put them in touch with strategic players in film, visual arts, and in digital and vocational training schools. We also have the pleasure to welcome three producers from Los Angeles, Paris, and Shanghai. During the networking activities that will ensue – breakfast, lunch-meet, and express appointments – you will not only make connections, but especially initiate collaborations, productions, broadcasting projects, and exhibition installations as a solo artist or as a group.
This initiative, baptised “Strategy 2025: Canada Dances on Screen”, aims to bring Canadian dances to new horizons and reach out to a wider audience. Naturally, exchanges with our international partners are intended.
The professional day will be hosted and animated by Sylvain Bleau and Izabel Barsive, videographer and part-time professor for the Department of Communications at the University of Ottawa.
