Celebrating dance in Brussels
Created in partnership with Lise Bruyneel (La fabrique des regards), the first open-air exhibition took place in 2022 on the occasion of Brussels,dance! The exhibition, which includes more than 40 dance photographs from the Contredanse archives, is an original way of presenting the iconographic collection of the Contredanse documentation centre, which includes almost 5,000 photographs covering a century of Belgian and international dance.
Contredanse carefully preserves the draperies, and the exhibition is intended to be shown again in various cultural places. Claudio Bernardo exhibit some of the photographs at the DIAGONAL Festival in 2022, and for the Jardin Hélène De Rudder, next to the Centre culturel Jacques Franck, four of its draperies start dancing in October 2023.
