Nouvelles de danse n° 17 : A l’écoute du corps

“The fact that dance is ultimately the ideal means of communication for bringing attention to the life of a neighborhood disrupted by real-estate operations is a perfect illustration of our European meeting Autres pas 1993, “A l’écoute du corps”, a summary of the proceedings of which we publish in this issue. Nouvelles de danse too, although enlarging its format and swelling its volume, wishes to remain above all a communication tool, not even a medium, but a simple instrument, of artistic thought, information and expression.”
