Petite Suite à Danser is a documentary film by Fernand Vincent about the Ballet-Théâtre Contemporain (BTC) in Amiens, France’s first national choreographic center, founded in 1968.
It presents exceptional images revealing the behind-the-scenes world of the BTC, which aspired at the time to be “the melting pot of contemporary art as a whole.” The creations of choreographers as diverse as Jean Babilée, Félix Blasca, Brian Macdonald, Françoise Adret, Joseph Lazzini, and Dirk Sanders—whose creative process for his piece Hopop is shown here in archival footage—allow dance to join forces with other forms of contemporary creation in an “encounter and synthesis of the arts of gesture, movement, sculpture, painting, and music” of that era.
