Everyone knows how important creation, presentation and training are in dance. However, less attention is paid to documentation, research, promotion and transmission, which are also vital to the development of contemporary dance.
In July 2016, the Fondation Jean-Pierre Perreault submitted the brief Documentation, valorisation et transmission des patrimoines de la danse contemporaine et actuelle au Québec : Enjeux actuels to the Ministère de la culture et des communications du Québec as part of a public consultation on the renewal of Quebec’s cultural policy. The brief highlighted issues related to preserving and transmitting our contemporary dance heritage.
