ON THE MENU FOR 2010 : t a e A TRUE FEAST OF CULTURE! f

We are pleased and excited to unveil this schedule of all the great events happening in the Accès culture network during the winter and spring of 2010. As always, there's enough on the menu to satisfy every taste in music, dance, theatre, poetry and visual arts.

Some of these events deserve special mention. There's the tour of Les Entrées en scène Loto-Québec , which encourages a new generation of professional performers by giving them access to stages all around Québec, including many in the city's Accès culture network. This year the tour highlights the choreography of Alexandra "Spicey" Landé, creator of Rétrospek , plus the electro-pop confections of La Patère Rose, and the dramatic inventions of Théâtre À l’Envers, producers of a marvellous play for the young and the old, Woânda . The city's up-and-coming talent will also take centre-stage in April for the 14th d l a annual Printemps de la danse , a dance festival which this year is dedicated to the work of three young choreographers from n o

D Montréal: Andrew Turner, Eryn Flynn and Yaëlle Azoulay. c a M

k Families in Montréal will have a busy time marking their calendars; more than 100 youth events are on the way. During c i

n the spring break, kids can enjoy the great series of musical shows presented for La Semaine de la musique , the result of a a Y

: collaboration between the city and the Jeunesses Musicales du Canada. And for tweens and teens who love theatre, there's o t

o an ingenious new play, entitled Roland (La vérité du vainqueur ), by Théâtre de la Pire Espèce, the winner of the Accès culture h

P Prize for 2009–2010 .

We invite you to keep your free copy of this latest issue of Accès culture magazine. You’ll find everything you need to get a rich serving of culture all through the winter and spring!
