The gift of dance, Portrait of Anik Bissonnette,
2014
Documentary short
In the footsteps of the builders before her, Anik Bissonnette is at the helm of L’École supérieure de ballet du Québec where she guides the dance and ushers in the future.
After dazzling us for decades with her talent as a ballerina, she touches us now with a new set of gestures.
Echoing her masters, she in turn transmits the secrets of movement and the rigorous precepts of her art. The steps and gestures of the youth she inspires offer us the most splendid ballet of all, the passing on of knowledge.
