Charles-Alexis Desgagnés is a multidisciplinary creator, dancer and performer based in Montreal. Self-taught and curious, he evolves in the fields of dance, improvisation, cinema and teaching.

A queer artist recognized for his embodied strength and sensitivity, he develops an artistic vision whose heart is human. His company,Personne Danse, whose name echoes his career away from the great schools and his desire to bring together and celebrate atypical careers, is defined by his gaze more focused on uniqueness and vulnerability. A unifier, he collaborates with many stage and image artists; technicians and arts professionals who share a circular approach and whom he wishes to highlight just as much as the performers who participate in his creations. His journey led him to train between New York, Toronto, Quebec and Montreal, and to work with big names such as Harold Rhéaume, Tedd Robinson, Riley Sims, Chantal Caron, Ismaël Mouaraki, Kyra Jean Green, Samuel Tétreault or Peter Jasko again. He also collaborates with circus companies such as Cirque du Soleil, Cirque Éloize and The 7 Fingers.

Finalist of the Revolution show in 2018, Charles-Alexis sees this opportunity as a way to popularize contemporary dance to the general public. At the same time, he presents in a self-directed way the work Mue érable with 28 performers, which he transformed into a solo and presented at the Festival Quartiers Danses the following year. In 2022, his group piece J'ai pleuré ce matin dans le métro brings together 23 performers on the stage of the Maison de la culture in Verdun and brings it new media recognition. Currently, he is working on the short film project La Peau de l'autre with director Vincent René-Lortie and is developing a 55-minute solo work for the stage, entitled The call of the embers.
