History and objectives

LARTech was founded in December 1999 by choreographers and directors Martine Époque and Denis Poulin with the aim of furthering their research-creation in technochoreography* and the digitization of dance movement.
Curious about the possible future of digital dance, LARTech aims to:

Opening digital spaces and expressions to dance;

Open dance and human movement to renewed territories of research, creation and expression;

Stimulate the interest of dance people and the public in technochoreography

 

LARTech is now considered a reference center in technochoreography and the digitization of dance and human movement.
*Technochoreography is a generic term that includes infochoreography, choreographic infonotation and gesture processing (neologisms from M. Époque, 1992).).

FRAGILE, The Lost Spring is the last production undertaken by Denis Poulin as director and producer. Broadcast since March 2022, it is an immersive production including LIVE dancers and unusual film projections. The projected cinédanse is entirely dedicated to the choreographic work of Martine Époque, "The Rite of Spring" from 1987. FRAGILE Le Printemps perdu is a project with multiple versions thanks to the diversity and versatility of its cast.
