    Dany Tremblay's portrait



Dany Tremblay:  "Do not wait tomorrow to live your dreams"

BPP:  Who are You ?

Dany Tremblay: A quiet girl who writes stories, who teaches literature and theatre;

A teacher who raises awareness in the various forms of arts ;

An artist who believes in the multidisciplinary events where painting, music, literature are compatible. 
                                

In that sense, I created " Way of exchanges ", an event where artists of various disciplines and cultures were invited to make a performance on a boat cruise navigating 

the Saguenay river.

BPP: And who you really are ? 

Dany Tremblay: A delinquent in control;

A rocker at heart drawn towards unstable environments and borderline persons;

A girl who walks along the sea to swim her dogs;

A writer that highlights the dark side of existence.

BPP:  What is your true dream, the one that keeps you up at night and if one day it were to come true you would feel peace and calmness in your heart? 

Dany Tremblay: To have ALWAYS the sea as the horizon and the noise of THE waves for music.

BPP:  How is life currently for the people in your country/ (and) /what would you wish for them and for the planet at large ?

Dany Tremblay: Not so badly when we compare with the other countries.
Still, there are too many people that do not eat enough; families that do not have a roof over their head; too many children and animals are abandoned, mistreated.

I wish peace for all of us, a space for everybody, respect for all forms of life, the end of violent behaviour especially toward children and animals.

BPP:  If you had chance to be a child again would you choose the same life?

Dany Tremblay: I chose this life, I like and feel in peace about what I became.

BPP:  What was the exact moment that you realized what you wanted to do with your life? How did you feel at this very moment?

Dany Tremblay: As far as I can remember, I always knew.
When I was a little girl, to put myself asleep or just spend free time, I invented stories: love stories, adventures stories or others like people lost in the space .
Even now, that part didn't change.
When I told my stories to others, I liked the way I saw them hanging one each words coming out my mouth and after asking me for more.
The desire to write is a part of me since the moment when I took consciousness of the world.

BPP:  Would you like to tell us something we didn’t ask until now?

Dany Tremblay: Nobody is eternal. In that sense, I had a reminder in 2011. Since, I live every day as if it was my last one. Life lies in the details. Furtive sensation, a breeze, rustling of a material , a tree whining, a smell, a disturbing image against which we can do nothing and which gives us dizziness.
Do not wait tomorrow to live your dreams.
