Sylvain
Émard

Sylvain Émard Camille Gladu Drouin

A prolific and internationally respected artist, Sylvain Émard created his own dance company Sylvain
Émard Danse in 1990, quickly establishing a reputation for a very original style. Highly theatrical at
first, his work soon evolved into a more formal approach to dance.

Ever since Ozone, Ozone (1987), his first solo, up to Rhapsodie (2022), he has been exploring the territory of human nature through the force and strength of the body. His repertoire now includes over thirty original pieces that have had a resounding impact all over the world.

Renowned for his refined style and precise movement, his presentation in 2009 of Le Grand Continental® at the Festival TransAmériques must have come to some as a surprise. Inspired by line dancing, this unique piece has featured 3,000 non-dancers in several performances across Canada, the United States, Mexico, South Korea, New Zealand, Chile, Germany and Austria, attracting some 125,000 spectators. In September 2017, Le Super Méga Continental boasted 375 dancers in Montréal to celebrate the city’s 375th anniversary.

Sylvain Émard’s unique style has led to invitations to work as guest choreographer in theatre, opera
and cinema. These collaborations include his joining forces with Robert Lepage in 2005 to work on
the opera 1984 by Lorin Maazel, presented at Royal Opera House in London and La Scala in Milan.

Recipient of numerous awards, including the prestigious Jean A. Chalmers Lifetime Achievement Award, Sylvain Émard was also honored in 2024 with a Prix reconnaissance awarded by the Partenariat du Quartier des spectacles, in recognition of his remarkable contribution to Montreal's cultural vitality. He is also co-founder of Circuit-Est centre chorégraphique.
