Choreographers Sasha Kleinplatz and Andrew Tay created the Wants&Needs Danse company to produce both individual and collaborative choreographic works. For the last eight years, the company has also been organizing extremely popular dance events in Montreal, namely: Involved, Piss in the Pool and Short & Sweet. These events have been lauded for bringing the Montreal dance community together, for bridging gaps in language, age and experience, and for giving choreographers a rare opportunity to share with other professionals.
Wants&Needs Danse seeks to bring contemporary dance to a greater variety of audiences, and to find innovative approaches and venues for presenting dance. The company also works with musicians, fashion designers and other well-known designers to unite many artistic forms and to make dance more relevant for those outside the contemporary dance community.
