Welcome

C'est gr�ce aux collectionneurs qu'une m�moire culturelle peut commencer � se former

It is whilst making some research for my Web-site in 2006 that I found out about the destruction of the majority of the BALLET ROYAL DE WALLONIE Archives.

As it is not possible to gather them permanently in a Museum, today it is possible to reconstruct them virtually on the Internet. 

I then realised that the creation of this Website was absolutely necessary.

Its goals are:

  • To preserve and leave traces of the history of Dance in Wallonia.
  • To pay hommage to HANNA VOOS founder of the Ballet du Hainaut as from 1958.
  • Through this site as anchor, allow old members of the company to get together and exchange information.

Encouraged by friends I have gathered; Interviews, Programmes, Critics, Photographs, Posters, Films et Videos from old dancers.

Even if the list of programmes is not complete, I hope to be able to do so with the contribution of each and everybody.

 

The seek of documents concern :

  • Ballet du Grand Th��tre de Mons
  • Ballet du Palais des Beaux Arts de Charleroi
  • Ballet du Hainaut
  • Ballet de Wallonie
  • Ballet Royal de Wallonie
  • Ballet Royal de Wallonie � Compagnie Jorge Lefebre
  • Ballet Royal de Wallonie - Centre Chor�graphique de la Communaut� Fran�aise
  • Charleroi � Danses, Centre Chor�graphiques de la Communaut� Fran�aise

And all other activities concerning Dance in Wallonnia: Les Germinettes, Maria Fromont etc..

Going through newspapers archives has allowed me to retrace the activities of Hanna Voos at the Th��tre des Vari�t�s since 1946.
