Paul-André Fortier entered the world of dance in the 1970’s via one of Quebec and Canada's most innovative choreographic companies, Le Groupe Nouvelle Aire. While at the company, he worked with some of the most distinguished artists in his field. Even before Fortier became known for his choreography, he had already earned a reputation as a dancer for his elegant, refined and commanding stage presence. He was a part of every major project of the era; those of his mentors, and those of his peers (Edouard Lock and Daniel Léveillé, among others). In 1979 he created his own company, which later became Fortier Danse-Création. He also co-founded the company Montréal Danse in 1986 with Daniel Jackson. He was a professor at UQAM’s dance department for ten years. (quelle: http://www.fortier-danse.com/FDC/ang/paf_choregraphe.php?PHPSESSID=o14hdtrdsi4rg7v4gao57vhvc6)
