Emmanuel Jouthe was drawn to choreography early in his career. In the course of his training, he was lucky to have met creators that have inspired and stimulated his work, such as Paul-André Fortier, Daniel Léveillé and William Douglas. As a member of Danse Carpe Diem, he has created and performed a number of works, including Le Sabot de Maogani, FH... les petites morts de la paume, 3 Centauromachia 4, M and his most recent piece Dimanche XXIe. His work has been presented principally in Montreal, but also in Toronto and Ottawa, in Germany and Italy.

Emmanuel Jouthe continues to develop his artistic vision, combining his choreographic experience with new takes on the performance space and on movement vocabulary, to help bring the performer and the spectator closer together. Recently, during the Festival international de nouvelle danse, he presented the first phase in the diptych Dimanche XXIe, Vitrail, a three-hour piece performed in the store window of the optician Georges Laoun. In Vitrail, Emmanuel Jouthe performs a one-hour solo entitled Aechylos, created during a choreographic residency in Berlin. The second phase, Æternam, will be co-produced by Danse-Cité in fall 2004.

Parallel to his career in creation, Emmanuel Jouthe has performed in works by some of today’s most well-known choreographers: Paul-André Fortier, José Navas, Louise Bédard, Daniel Soulières, Pierre-Paul Savoie, Felix Ruckert, and Julyan Hamilton. For the theatre, he has worked with Pascal Contamine, Robert Gravel, Jean-Pierre Ronfard and Paula de Vasconcelos. He is also a member of the board of directors for the orientation commitee for the Journees de la culture event.
