“I recognized when I arrived to Canada that I had an accent in my dancing, the same way as I roll my R’s possibly in French and in English” What is the accent like? “The way I move always had something more round or something more fluid in the connectivity. The moment that I started to abandon myself into that way of dancing, then I found my voice and instead of trying to erase it, I dance with that accent. And that actually made my career.” —Art Is My Country, CBC
