Compagnie Fêtes galantes

Artistic direction:Béatrice Massin

Creation: 1993

Founded in 1993 by Béatrice Massin, Fêtes Galantes elaborates on the many aspects of baroque dance.

The confrontation between baroque style and contemporary dance gives birth to a specific writing.

By steering clear of any attempt at reconstitution, the company chose to bring forward, in our time, a kind of baroque that would interest the contemporary.

Founded in 2003, L’Atelier baroque was born out of Fêtes Galantes’ constant preoccupation with education. A tool for research and transmitting knowledge, its main goal is to organize education programmes as well as train dance professionals. It acts mainly as a bridge between past and future.
