Meet the cast - Corey Bourbonniere

Corey Bourbonniere - dancer in Me Vs...
I am someone that is passionate and a bit of a perfectionist. I am someone who tries to see the bright side of things, and who will listen without judging. I’m someone who cares deeply about humanity, and is saddened by the way people disregard or discount other inhabitants of this earth. I’m someone who remains hopeful that one day we will see God in our neighbors, coworkers, countrymen and immigrants, and that we will treat them all as such.

I’m excited to be a part of The Missing Peace, because I’ve met some truly incredible people in this short span of rehearsal time, and I’m excited to share a creative space with them. All of the choreographers have put so much time, thought, and care into these works, and I think the work that they’re doing is so important and relatable. They're giving life to concepts of identity, and the loss of identity, concepts that are not frequently seen in dance, or even talked about. By creating these works, they’ve opened a dialogue not just among the dancers, but among the people who have gotten to see pieces of these works. I’m excited to be a part of something that people will bring home with them, and think about, and talk about with their friends, because these topics are things that most if not all of us have dealt with.
