The foundation of a 'Dancing Museum'

"We are at a time in history when museum in no way excludes precarious movements or nomadic, ephemeral or instantaneous ones. We are  at a time in history  when a museum can modify BOTH preconceived ideas about museums AND one's ideas about dance. [...] In order to do so, we must first of all forget the image of a traditional museum, because our space is firstly a mental one. The strength of a museum of dance consist to a large extent in the fact that it does not yet exist, that it doesn't yet have a suitable place... that the spirit of the place emerges before the place... that everything remains to be done, and that the daily life of this construction site makes room for every audacious idea and every eccentricity."

-Boris Charmatz (2009)
