Côté Danse's mission is to create and present original dance works and experiences in collaboration with various and diverse designers, artists and partners.

We seek to motivate and challenge our audiences, fostering a new generation of dance and theatre-goers. Our goal is to offer performance excellence while presenting accessible and scalable productions for a multitude of audiences and venues within Canada and abroad.

We strive to bring together the worlds of the purely western classical ballet and the contemporary sectors of dance by creating imaginative works wide-ranging in style, aesthetics, themes, and concepts. We aspire to consistently evolve and adapt as the dance world shifts and to encourage a culture of creativity and inclusion for our artists and audiences.

 
 

Artist Snapshot:

 

X(Dix)

X(Dix) connects to the myth of Odysseus, about journeying far but always desiring to return home. The piece explores the notion of the “inner compass” and the idea that “home” may be a state of mind. Five performers share a minimalist stage setting amplified by the surging and sculptural sounds of American experimental band Son Lux.

Informed by his classical ballet vocabulary, Côté’s choreography contours space with resonant geometries and fervent human connections. Contemporary lines and forms with a sleek edge and refined athleticism give his work a bracing quality.

The message resonates.
Begin again.
