Carol Prieur - Dancer

Carol Prieur started her career with Winnipeg Contemporary Dancers. She has worked with various Canadian choreographers and has participated in the touring production of Fondation Jean-Pierre Perreault’s Joe. Grants permitted her to pursue her studies in New York, Europe and India where she was initiated into Kalarypayattu, an Indian martial art form. Since she became a member of Compagnie Marie Chouinard in 1995, two solos have been created for her: Humanitas and Étude Poignante. In 2003, she has received a research grant from the Canada Council for the Arts, and she received the Moving Pictures Festival of Dance on Film and Video Award for Best Performance for her interpretation in Marie Chouinard’s film, Cantique no. 1, in Toronto.
