Festival Bouge d’ici
Dance. Moves. Art.

Le Festival Bouge d’ici is an annual celebration of Montreal’s up-and-coming contemporary dance community taking place online from March 3-14, 2021. Enjoy short works by emerging and established dance artists, take part in panel discussions and be surprised by creative programming.

“Bouge d’ici is such an integral part of our yearly events and just because we can’t gather at MainLine Theatre, it doesn’t mean we can’t celebrate our vibrant dance community” says Kenny Streule, MainLine Theatre’s Artistic Producer. “When discussing plans for this year’s edition of the festival, we sought to keep the core values of Bouge. With its content and activities, I can proudly say that we have accomplished just that.”
