Louise Moyes (Canada - NL)
Louise Moyes
performs
one-woman 'docu-dances': humorous, multi-disciplinary, bilingual
shows created from documentary-style interviews. Growing up
in Newfoundland
and later living
in Quebec, Louise developed a
fascination for accents, gestures, and other distinguishing
cultural features. While traveling she records conversations with
ordinary people and edits a script from the recordings, playing up
to 20 different characters in a performance. These glimpses into
private lives juxtapose events and characters, giving way to
contradictory and often funny stories.
Louise's experiences as a dancer and performance artist mold each story into a unique presentation of contemporary life. Louise studied at studio 303 in Montreal and has performed throughout Canada and in Europe,Iceland and Brazil.
