Katrine Patry

Katrine Patry (1986) is a dance artist and creator from Quebec, Canada now based in Oslo, Norway. She has performed works by Jacques Poulin-Denis, Alan Lake, Harold Rhéaume, Catherine Tardif, Lydia Wagerer, Mélanie Demers, Dominique Porte, Louise Bédard, Emmanuel Jouthe and Shaula Cambazzu, amongst others. Her attraction and curiosity for the human being and different kinds of expression has made her explore mainly movement but also visual arts, architecture, and the anatomical & physiological body.

The combined explorations have built her interest in the notion of necessity. In her creative work, it allows her to playfully distill and refine qualities, thus insisting and exhausting them. She is fascinated by the richness of simplicity and how to reach it. For her it is about discovering with accuracy the simplest version that can trigger imagination and references in others.
