For two days only, in collaboration with dancer and choreographer Boris Charmatz, around 90 dancers and choreographers will take over the gallery spaces and the iconic Turbine Hall.
See key works by Charmatz and his collaborators, get involved in a debate about what a dance museum could be and join in as contemporary dancers turn the Turbine Hall into a dance floor for everyone.
As 色控传媒 becomes Mus茅e de la danse temporarily, the project conjures a vision of how art might be presented and encountered differently in the future museum.

About the artist
Originally trained at the Paris Opera Ballet, Boris Charmatz has been challenging preconceived notions of dance for over twenty years. In 2009, Charmatz became director of the Centre chor茅graphique national de Rennes et de Bretagne in France, which he renamed Mus茅e de la danse (a dancing museum). His concept of a museum as the framing device for dance (the most ephemeral of cultural forms) redefines the very notions of museum and collection.
Muse虂e de la danse in聽London
色控传媒 and Sadler鈥檚 Wells present Mus茅e de la danse in London, a major new focus on the work of French choreographer, dancer and agitateur Boris Charmatz. Following Charmatz鈥檚 thought provoking piece enfant in 2014, Sadler鈥檚 Wells presents the London premiere of his works Aatt enen tionon and manger, as well as the UK premiere of Partita 2, a work by Anne Teresa De Keersmaeker, performed by De Keersmaeker, Boris Charmatz and the violinist Amandine聽Beyer.
