In 2025, she founded Création Caroline Laurin-Beaucage, a structure dedicated to the development, production, and dissemination of her work. This new chapter emerges at a pivotal moment in her career, marked by innovative projects and the expansion of her presentation networks. Through this new entity, she continues to pursue a committed artistic research, grounded in the sensitive encounters between body, gesture, and temporality, where technological and scenographic tools become spaces of exploration, allowing invisible trajectories that shape our experiences to surface.
Biography
Choreographer, performer and teacher for 25 years, Caroline Laurin-Beaucage has created a repertoire of more than ten works, including installations, in situ performances, architectural projections and a virtual reality film. Her work has been presented in Montreal (Danse Danse, Agora de la danse, Tangente, Festival TransAmériques, OFFTA), as well as in Canada, France, Spain, Hungary, Germany, South Korea, Switzerland, Israel and Italy. In 2020, she received the CALQ Prize for Best Choreographic Work for her stage work Intérieurs. Her virtual reality film Bodies of Water (Une eau la nuit), co-created with Chélanie Beaudin-Quintin, is presented in the official competition at the 2024 Venice Biennale.
As a performer, she has worked with Ginette Laurin (O Vertigo), Jacques Poulin-Denis, Paul-André Fortier and Jean-Pierre Perreault. She is also co-founder of the structure for choreographers Lorganisme – of which she is still a member – and, in 2022, she joined Circuit-Est centre chorégraphique. Caroline first trained at the School of Toronto Dance Theatre, then obtained her Master’s degree from Concordia University’s INDI program in 2022. She taught in Concordia’s contemporary dance department as a lecturer from 2005 to 2019. She joined the faculty of UQAM’s dance department in 2020, where she is currently developing the field of dance and new technologies.
Artistic Statement
The artistic language of Caroline Laurin-Beaucage draws first upon the body and movement, before crystallizing in the theoretical concepts that give them form. She is interested in sensible phenomena and largely intangible physical principles such as gravity and memory, and in the way they affect and shape the deployment of choreographic writing. In appropriating these intangible manifestations and transposing them into dance, she has developed a vocabulary that is inextricably linked to matter, temporality, and spatiality. Movement is circumscribed within a moment, a space, or around scenographic elements in a manner that makes them constrain and structure the composition of the choreography.
Carnal incarnations of hidden systems, Caroline’s works express the essence of humanity, bringing out both raw instinct and sensibility. Her substantial, uncompromising dance vividly embodies interiority and the imperceptible.
Mission
Création Caroline Laurin-Beaucage’s mission is to support, develop, and promote the artistic work of Caroline Laurin-Beaucage. Her practice is situated within the expanded field of dance and performance, at the intersection of immersive environments, visual arts, video, and film. Through its projects, the company seeks to create works in which choreographic gesture, scenographic devices, and technology coexist to generate sensitive and singular artistic experiences. Based in Montreal, it aims to build bridges between disciplines, explore hybrid forms, and actively contribute to the evolution of contemporary practices.
