About the installation

Corps en fête brings together four short video works created by students from UQAM’s Department of Dance. Projected onto the façade of the Président-Kennedy Pavilion, the installation celebrates the body in motion and highlights the emerging talent of the next generation of contemporary dance artists.

Created as part of a course exploring artistic creation and new technologies, the four works explore the intersection of movement, image, and public space.
