Menka Nagrani Receives the Order of Arts and Letters of Quebec and the Order of Montreal
Congratulations to our founder and artistic director Menka Nagrani, who receives the Order of Arts and Letters of Quebec as well as the Order of Montreal for her lifetime work. These prestigious honors add to the Order of Canada she was awarded in 2020. Internationally recognized for her unique approach to professional inclusion and training of artists with intellectual disabilities, Menka is invited to give lectures and master classes in Canada and Europe. Her tireless work to gain recognition of professional status for disabled artists has paved the way for new practices and brought atypical artists into the professional scene.
Workshops
Les Productions des pieds des mains continues its long tradition of cultural mediation workshops again this year. Several teams made up of atypical and neurotypical actor-dancers, accompanied by a musician, will introduce children and adults to engaged theater, contemporary dance, and physical theater. This year, we will collaborate with several community organizations, cultural centers, and Place des Arts.
See the CBC NEWS report on our workshops at Place des Arts.
