Chantal Caron, C.M.
Saint-Jean-Port-Joli, Quebec

Dancer, choreographer, educator and filmmaker, Chantal Caron roots her artistic process in the environment. She leads Fleuve | Espace danse, a contemporary dance company whose creations highlight our natural heritage, particularly the St. Lawrence River. She blends choreography and film, creating moving works that juxtapose dancers with the surrounding environment. Keen to generate a collective interest in nature through dance and movement, she has also run a dance school in her community for over 30 years.
