“The inspiration for this quartet came from the work of two talented women artists : composer/performer Joan Jeanrenaud and French Canadian writer Marie Savard. The words and music brought strong images that started from a personal stand to a more global point of view. The challenge with Terre Brune was to use only four dancers to convey a sense of community and to still be able to bring it to a level of intimacy.” – Sonya Dewaide
