Our Masters

Sarah Bild

Sarah Bild, dance artist and choreographer, has been creating, teaching and performing in Montreal and throughout Canada for the last 25 years. She teaches composition at l’EDCM and is a certified teacher of Action Theater™. Sarah Bild follows an instinctual stream of physical imagery to create deeply textured and organic works of dance. Through the use of viscerally embodied movement, voice and text, she creates visually impressive solo and group works that raise questions about our human presence on this planet. Her recent performance piece, She Wanted, has played over 60 times.
