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.
