Guillaume Chouinard

A surprising, protean artist, Guillaume Chouinard has a tendency to show up where least expected. For more than 20 years he has been delighting audiences as an actor and globetrotting acrobat with Dynamo théâtre (Mur-Mur, Déséquilibre-le défi), as a spirited performer for the theatre companies Momentum and Trans-Théâtre, and as a founding member of the madcap dance theatre collective Moitsutoitsous. He attracted considerable notice at the TNM for his role in 2000 in L’Odyssée, directed by Dominique Champagne. He was a strong presence in Louis Bélanger’s film Route 132, and part of the creative team involved in the Robert Lepage production of Wagner’s Ring Cycle at the Met in New York. He was also recently cast in the play Chante avec moi by Olivier Choinière. For the past seven years he has been teaching movement at the École Internationale de l’humour. A dance theatre veteran, he has been working for many years in Bouge de là productions and played Old Thomas in Old Thomas and the Little Fairy, which toured Canada from 2008 to 2011.
