Florence Cornet - Teaching Artist, Set & Costume Design

For over 30 years, Florence has been practising and teaching stage makeup, primarily in the theatre and stage world, for well-known stage directors Dominique Champagne, Claude Poissant, Robert Lepage, René Richard Cyr and François Girard, among others. In addition to designing the makeup for great dramatic characters appearing on the main stages of Montreal’s cultural scene, she has collaborated on opera productions by McGill University’s Schulich School of Music. She has worked in television and the big screen for over 15 years, has taught at a number of theatre schools across Quebec and continues to do so at the National Theatre School of Canada. Her reputation and know-how led her to Cirque du Soleil, where she was a designer for Kooza and Michael Jackson: The Immortal World Tour shows. Since 2015, she has also designed for the Hommage series of shows presented at the Amphithéâtre Cogeco in Trois-Rivières. This Fall, Florence will be in charge of makeup design for Le Meilleur des mondes at Théâtre Denise-Pelletier and Knock ou le Triomphe de la médecine at TNM.
The stage is a special place for creating and expressing: whether a show entails theatre, dance, song or any other stage performance, highlighting faces is an art form that moves me deeply, as it relates to human beings and to the soul.
