Agora, cité internationale de la danse

Agora, cité internationale de la danse

Formerly a Ursuline Convent, then a women's prison and barracks, the story of Agora, International Dance Center begins in 1990. Georges Frêche, then mayor of the city of Montpellier, granted Dominica Bagouet to establish the Choreographic Centre in this old building downtown. Since 1986, the ‘Montpellier Danse' festival has been setting  a scene in the Ursulines - now named Agora Theater - to host the festival performances. In 1994 and 2001, two successive construction phases leaded to building the National Choreographic Centre and ‘Montpellier Danse'. In 2010 the Agora, International Dance Center was born. The final phase of work has allowed for the complete restoration of the building, now devoted entirely to dance, with two rehearsal studios, a fully restored outdoor theater and the Room Béjart - a former chapel hosting conferences, movie projections, performances... The Agora, International Dance Center, brings together all aspects of choreography: creation, public reception, artists residences and hosting... which makes this Centre a unique place in Europe.

Western classical dance enters the modernity of the 20th century: The Ballets russes and the Ballets suédois

If the 19th century is that of romanticism, the entry into the new century is synonymous of modernity! It was a few decades later that it would be assigned, a posteriori, the name of “neo-classical”.
