Jean-Louis Morin

Jean-Louis Morin (1953 - 24 May, 1995) was a choreographer and the principal dancer for the Martha Graham Dance Company.

Born in Val-David, Quebec, he made his debut with the Groupe de la Place Royale in Montreal, then with the Toronto Dance Theatre.

He was introduced to experimental cinema via the Canadian filmmaker Norman McLaren's short musical film "Narcissus", for which he was the principal actor/dancer as the beautiful Narcissus.

Know also as a painter and sculptor, he died of complications from AIDS, according to a friend, Doneley Meris. ["New York Times", [http://query.nytimes.com/gst/fullpage.html?res=990CEEDA113AF936A35755C0A963958260 "Jean-Louis Morin, Dancer, Dies at 42 "] , June 5, 1995]
