Art studies sometimes lead to years of solitary improvement or inclusion in specialized fields, yet they can also be a part of community practice where everyday life is a crucial element in the process. Jade Bérubé attempted to do this by combining her theatrical studies at the Université du Québec à Montréal with the setting up of L’Art à rat, an interdisciplinary creative centre which has made a mark in Montreal. In 1999, Jade Bérubé applied to the City of Montreal to use the Saint-Louis arena to install a summer workshop for artistic exploration. A continuous series of meetings then ensued between artists at all levels in the fields of theatre, music, literature and visual arts. In 2000, L’Art à rat began its second season as a space for rehearsal, performance and learning and now encompasses international partnerships with similar ventures, notably in South Africa and France.
