biography

Céline Richard Robichon is a dancer, choreographer, performer, and educator working across street dances and contemporary dance. She has performed internationally with companies including Tentacle Tribe and Ebnflõh while developing her own works, including Superheroes Cry Too (2022) with the FRGMNT collective, loop it (2023), imagé(2025), and budding (2026), presented in Ottawa, Montréal, and Toronto. Céline choreographs and produces both independently and through Speakeasy, a collective connecting artists across cities like Ottawa and Montréal.

​

Trained in ballet, tap, and jazz before committing to street dances, Céline's artistic practice bridges multiple movement aesthetics. Freestyle and improvisation are central to her dancing and choreographic practice. Variation through repetition, attention, and care are among the methods and values that guide her creative process and research.

​

Céline is currently pursuing a research-creation master's degree in dance at UQAM, where she explores how freestyle and improvisation are understood and practiced in dance, and the relationships between them. Her research looks at how these practices engage bodies, movement, and the environments around them.

​

Whether creating for the stage, teaching as a cultural mediator and dance educator, or facilitating within the dance community, Céline enjoys meeting and listening to different people from all walks of life.
