He is the founder and Artistic Director and choreographer of the French/Québecois company Parenthèsis. His work has captured a number of international choreography awards.

‘L’heure du bain’ represents one moment of intimacy, meditation and purification. It is one moment when the protagonist finds himself, his own imagination, his interior world. The ‘Bolero’ is Garcia’s take on one of the most interpreted pieces of music, a challenge for any choreographer, while ‘Les Rêveuses’ is a short incursion into the universe of three young women escaping from reality by means of movement, lightness, color, poetry, dreams…It was awarded with Scapino prize in Hanover, Germany and at the Danse de Pesaro, Italy.
