The artist

Dulcinea studied dance with Paul Sanasardo, then mime with the master, Étienne Decroux, in Paris. She has studied theatre with Eugenio Barba and Yoshi Oida. When Decroux's assistants, Jean Asselin and Denise Boulanger, returned to Montreal to establish their company, they invited Dulcinea to join la Troupe Omnibus. She moved to Montreal in 1978.

Dulcinea signed choreographies in over twenty musical comedy and television productions. Her diversified talent, her socio-satiric sense and her inspiration garnered her the honor of being named Personality of the year by the Montreal daily, La Presse, in 1990.
