Compagnie de Danse
Jean-René Delsoin
(Pétion-Ville, Haiti)

Jean-René Delsoin’s outstanding, vibrant dancers and drummers embody choreography that captures Haiti now --- raw and refined, spiritual, powerful, and precarious.

“From Raboday to Nago, passing through Congo and the Yanvalou, corporeal rhythms and expressions worked in harmony to transform everything into beauty.” (Le Nouvelliste/Haiti)

Excellent communicators and experienced teachers, Delsoin’s company will offer workshops for students and professionals as part of residency programs that can also include panel discussions, and informal meet and greet events.

“Bold, energetic, sensational.” (Spotlight/Haiti)
