Rhodnie Désir has created some fifteen choreographic
works. Her landmark piece BOW’T
TRAIL Retrospek and her pioneering memorial
journey BOW’T TRAIL won her the Take Wings
Prize and the coveted Grand Prix de la danse.
Rhodnie Désir's signature documentary and
Afro-contemporary choreography is rooted in
the African and Afro-descendant rhythmic languages
of her native Haiti, as well as the rest of
the Caribbean, Central and Sub-Saharan Africa.
Her unique approach, words, performances
and civic actions have brought her strong international
recognition and have made her a guest
lecturer at numerous organisations and universities,
as well as at UNESCO, among others. In
April 2021, she was nominated by APAP for the
prestigious award of merit for achievement in
the performing arts 2021. In 2022, she received
the "Dancer of the Year" award at the Dynasty
Gala and became the first associate artist of the
famous Place des Arts institution in Montreal for
a three-year pilot project.
