Bondy

The town of Bondy and the Centre National de la Danse in Pantin tasked (LA)HORDE with producing a

choreographic portrait of Bondy’s residents. The aim was to go out and meet people who dance but have not

necessarily gone through any kind of dance institution, and invite them to film themselves dancing, directing

themselves as they dance in venues of their choice. Fifty or so people took part in the project, including a local

team of cheerleaders, dance-lovers in the local community centre’s club of the third age, and even swimmers

from the synchronised swimming club.

The film was made as part of the local project run by the town of Bondy with the arts and culture department,

in partnership with the Centre National de la Danse in Pantin and supported by the Department of Seine-Saint-

Denis.
