ALWAYS

ALREADY






NICHOLAS BELLEFLEUR



Chorégraphies, world-building, intelligence collective, performances, communauté.
Le mythe est devenu une réalité qui dépasse de loin le rêve.


Chorégraphe, directeur de mouvement, artiste du vivant.







Nicholas, aussi appelé EAU, célèbre le vivant à travers des ballets punk et écologiques, des happenings immersifs, des ateliers de guérison somatique, du coaching individuel, des publications et des écrits. Que ce soit dans un studio, un champ, un théâtre, un bunker ou un rêve, iel cherche des façons de désapprendre, de sentir autrement et de créer des gestes qui infiltrent le possible.

EAU est cofondateur de Proto Studio, un centre d’art autogéré dédié aux arts vivants à Montréal, où iel s’intéresse non seulement à la création artistique, mais aussi à la construction des conditions, des relations et des structures qui permettent aux communautés artistiques de se rassembler, d’expérimenter et de s’épanouir.

À travers ALWAYS ALREADY, un espace en constante évolution dédié à sa recherche et à ses pratiques artistiques, iel continue d’explorer l’incarnation, la relation, les systèmes, l’émergence et l’étrange intelligence de ce qui est déjà en mouvement. Iel active de futures mythologies à travers le corps, la technologie et la collaboration.




ALWAYS
ALREADY

Always Already is a space where the multiple practices, inquiries, and forms of creation that inhabit me can coexist. Each project is an autonomous container organizing its own space, time, and rhythm. Rather than defining a discipline, Always Already creates the conditions for each idea to find the form each project needs.

Que se passe-t-il lorsque l’imagination prend forme ? 

Nicholas Bellefleur (they/il) is an interdisciplinary artist, somatic facilitator, community leader and educator based in Tiothia:ke / Montreal. They create spaces of presence and transformation where dance, technology, play, and critical thought collide. Rooted in a queer and neurodivergent perspective, their practice moves fluidly between performance-making, improvisation, embodied research, alternative pedagogies, and collective experiments. 

Whether through posthuman performance works, consciousness-oriented workshops, or choreographic systems, Nicholas explores how bodies, people, environments, and larger systems shape and transform one another. Their response is to develop practices and methodologies for unlearning conditioning, reawakening intuition, and cultivating embodied, situated, and sensitive ways of being.

Always Already exists because, against and through a colonial history of displacement, invisibilizing and extracting energies, cultures and resources. We believe in the sovereignty of all forms of life and reclaim reciprocity and cooperation as new normal. Always Already actively works toward the creation of new worlds that allow such liberation to operate, integrate and transcend collective awareness/action.
