Sensual, Sophisticated and Exhilarating

Inspired by contemporary chamber music of the 20th and 21st centuries, Ms. Garant’s choreography provides a new interpretive language for the modern era, establishing a new and rich artistic language that expresses her widely respected vision of the future of dance.

Her choreographic style juxtaposes languishing movements with short rapid quirky gestures resulting in a very sensual, sophisticated and exhilarating style that still respects the structure and tradition of classical dance technique.

Similarly her love of the present is expressed through the use of contemporary dance incorporating everyday gestures that are intimate, actual, crafted, and unpredictable.
