RIDEAU "Prix Tournée" presented to Grand Poney for ON/OFF.

Congratulations to Grand Poney which received the Touring Award at RIDEAU held in Quebec City last week and will celebrate its 100th performance this spring!

« In 2024–2025, the company Grand Poney continued touring ON/OFF, a powerful choreographic work performed by five dancers on a stage treadmill symbolizing the pursuit of freedom and resilience. Presented 40 times across Quebec, mainly in school settings, the tour was accompanied by an extensive outreach program: 181 workshops and 4,093 participants. Through a sensitive and inclusive approach, ON/OFF made a deep impact on adolescents, reinforcing Grand Poney’s role as a key player in contemporary dance for young audiences. » (text from RIDEAU's website: https://www.evenementrideau.ca/prixrideau)
