Nathalie Derome

She’s the gal that fell for the cracks in the floor. She has been part of the underground since the beginning of the 80’s, as both a multidisciplinary and performance artist. She is considered the poet without paper whose blank page is the stage. Her creations are voluntarily low tech and intimate, taking shape within an interdisciplinary writing, rooted in performance, spoken word, dance-movement, drama, music, video and so on. She has performed in Quebec, Canada, France, Italy, Cuba and the U.S. To celebrate her company’s 20th year, she published an audio book with Planète Rebelle: Les temps qui courent, 20 ans de paroles tenues, and she produced a show that she performs with musicians Jean Derome, Martin Tétreault and Frank Martel. She is also working on the creation of an interdisciplinary proposition for children, in collaboration with Amélie Dumouln and Karine Sauvé, which will be presented in May 2009 during the Petits Bonheurs festival.
