Rodolphe-Yves Lapointe has worked successively as a journalist, actor, screenwriter, international aid worker, translator, communication consultant, university researcher, and curator. Based in Eastern Québec since 2002, he has explored various aspects of "art actuel", such as install-action, sound poetry, geo-poetical action, and performance. The intensive use of the spoken word, nonverbal languages, and the ingenuous manipulation of props is what typically characterizes Lapointe’s performance art work which he calls "textActions". His works have been presented in different artist-run centers and festivals in Canada, the United States, Mexico, Germany, and Poland.
