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.
