Lou Poirier

"A versatile artist, Lou Poirier navigates between physical theater, slam poetry and dance. Based in Acadia since 2002, she collaborates with artists from across Canada and Europe. Over the last few years, she has been seen in several roles on the screen and on the theatrical stage.

In 2018, she was a double finalist at the Éloizes - Artist of the Year in Dance and Artist of the Year in Theatre - for her one-woman show Arrêt sur image. During an artist residency in Newfoundland, she carried out an exploratory work on the form "documentary-dance" under the direction of Louise Moyes.

La traceuse, a short form resulting from this research, was on tour in 2019, in New Brunswick."
