Sylvie Tourangeau is considered a pioneer of performance art in Canada. Since 1978, her actions, group workshops and individual coaching have created an active space for the experimentation of performative consciousness through minimal actions that enhance the quality of presence, support intensity and personalize the connection with the spectator. In 2017, she will set up an artist's residence in the heart of Quebec's built heritage, La maison aux volets jaunes, dedicated to the performing arts (workshops, self-residencies, coaching and collective laboratories).

Victoria Stanton's interdisciplinary practice, based on the notions of presence and performative consciousness, reflects the complexity of an approach in which negotiation with the other is both a fundamental issue and a source of potential for reciprocal transformation. Considered one of the pioneers of transactional practices in Quebec, her interdisciplinary works (interventions, performative actions and conferences, publications, photos, lms, videos) have already been presented in Quebec, Canada, the United States, Europe, Australia, Japan and Mexico.

Trained in arts studies and literature, Anne Bérubé works in both fields as a researcher and practitioner. She is a frequent speaker and moderator, and has also produced several texts on local artists for various exhibition catalogues. She is a member of several reflection and creation groups involving art and social justice. For more than twenty years, she has integrated a performative component to her teaching practice in literature at the college level.
