Jeanne Renaud
After leaving Le Groupe, from 1971 to 1975, with Ed Kostiner, she operated Galerie III, a space for contemporary visual art, theatre, music and dance.[6] She next worked for the Canada Council, then the Quebec Ministère des affaires culturelles and then was head of the Conservatoire d'art dramatique du Québec for both Montreal and Quebec City. From 1985 to 1987, she was artistic director with Linda Stearns for Les Grands Ballets Canadiens. From 1987 to 1989, she taught in the dance department of the Université du Québec à Montréal, retiring in the latter year.[2]
She was awarded the Prix Denise-Pelletier in 1989[3] and, in 1995, the Governor General's Award for the Performing Arts.[2] In 1998, she was named to the Order of Canada.[7]
Renaud married Jean-Pierre Labrecque around 1948; the couple had a daughter and a son.[8] They separated in the early 1970s.[9]
The writer Thérèse Renaud and the artist Louise Renaud were her sisters.[4]
