Young Dancers' ProgramFaculty Assistant
Joanie Audet was born in Laval, Québec where she discovered contemporary dance and theatre at Curé Antoine Labelle High School. Subsequently, she enrolled in the Professional Training Program at Le Conservatoire de Danse de Montréal and completed three years. To pursue and refine her dancing, she moved to Toronto the following year to attend The School of Toronto Dance Theatre. Audet has performed work by Marc Boivin, Dancemakers, Danny Grossman, Susanna Hood, Christopher House, Sasha Ivanochko, Sharon B. Moore, and Julia Sasso.
Audet has been an assistant teacher in the Young Dancers' Program at the School since January 2009. She is grateful to be continuing with the program, and finds her involvement with children has influenced and informed her creative work.
Audet is an active member of the Lucky Penny Dance Collective. Additionally she is a great lover of travel, and combined this passion with her dance training in the summers of 2010 and 2011. She had the pleasure of participating in workshops in New Mexico, Regina, San Francisco, and Vancouver, studying with Justine Chambers, Holly Johnston, Rob Kitsos, Benoît Lachambre, Jennifer Mascall, Robin Poitras, Carol Prieur, and Ruth Zaporah.
