BELLEFLEUR
Interdisciplinary artist, choreographer, teacher, and axis of Always Already, Nicholas Bellefleur explores a constantly shifting world—queer, post-humanist, and radically alive—in which art and being together become a space for healing, resistance, and transformation.
After collaborating closely with world-renowned choreographers Andrea Peña, Virginie Brunelle, Dave St-Pierre, and Wynn Holmes, Bellefleur co-founded Proto Studio, a self-managed art center for community. With the performances RAVERIE, COWORKER and SACRED DISASTER, and through classes series like Praxis, LFDTCLASS and Rehearsal for the Future, Nicholas challenges choreography as world-building, performance as research, the body as landscape, dance as a practice of liberation.
Always Already is cloud of possibility, it’s an idea that exists within me and outside of me — where multiple artists and visions pass through, embrase and collide. Not a company, but a container. A portal of multiplicity and collaboration.
