Serge Bennathan
Initially, I had a subject that I wanted to explore, but as I delved deeper into the material and reflected on my life changes, my research shifted.
For Dancemakers’ 50th anniversary Archival Project in 2024, Raymundo Moreno wrote a profile about the legacy of Serge Bennathan who was Artistic Director of Dancemakers from 1990-2006.
In 2024, Dancemakers turned 50 years old.
This was a time of crucial and critical looking back for Dancemakers. As a way to commemorate this anniversary, we worked with Artist Researchers to read “against the grain” of our archive, which is housed at Dance Collection Danse (DCD) located at 2 Carlton St Unit 1303 in Tkaranto.
Each artist researcher was given a one-week (paid) Writing Residency at Dance Collection Danse (or remotely using DCD’s digital archives) with the intention to produce content that will permanently live on Dancemakers’ website.
