Adam Dymburt

Passionate about movement and the performing arts, Adam Dymburt practiced collegiate and Olympic style wrestling, acrobatics, and was involved in the theatre before plunging into the world of dance. From 1985 to 1987, he taught acrobatics at the National Circus School in Montreal, where he met dancer and choreographer Francine Châteauvert. He worked in close collaboration with her on her first choreographies for the Sursaut Dance Company. Always supportive of the choreographer’s artistic vision, Adam Dymburt works with conviction and has taken on numerous roles for Sursaut over the years, including general manager, development officer, booking agent, tour manager, technical director, stagehand and dancer. His portrayal of Uncle Drosselmeyer in the company’s contemporary version of the holiday classic The Nutcracker and the King of Rats as well as the role of Auguste, which he has been performing since 2005 in At nightfall are particularly representative of his versatility on stage.

Now Director of Administration and Development, Adam continues to invest seemingly endless energy, tenacity and determination into the development of the company for which he has worked for over 30 years. He was awarded the Mérite estrien prize by the newspaper La Tribune in 2013 for his implication and his achievements.
