Dear List The Board of Monaco Dance Forum and its President, Jean-Chistophe Maillot, have just decided to dissolve the association which organizes the festival. That means the end of this event such as you knew it. All the team is dismissed, including the general manager. This decision was taken inspit of the success of the last edition (positive financial balance, audience of 17000 paying spectators, press and the congratulations of all, including the Board of MDF. Nobody understands this choice, that I choose not to comment. The time will allow to clarify things. Now, it seams that Maillot is preparing a new MDF for 2009 about Ballets Russes anniversary but without tech... I ?m preparing a Choreographic Development Center dedicated to the digital dance but the time of vote of local authorities is long. I am thus urgently searching for tracks, studies, temporary missions... With my thanks to have so well accompanied us in this adventure.
