New collections collected

Inventory of the Hervé Robbe collection

The extensive archive deposited by Hervé Robbe at the CN D media library documents his creative activities with the Le Marietta secret company between 1987 and 1999, then with the Centre chorégraphique national du Havre. It will eventually be supplemented by the archives of the Travelling & Co company, which has hosted his projects since 2011. Bringing together distribution and communication documents, working papers, press, photographs and numerous video recordings, the collection documents the choreographer's creations, highlights his many artistic collaborations and his extensive use of image, both in film-making and video installations, as well as other projects developed within the CCN framework, residencies, shows and events such as the Météores festival from 2006 onwards.

Inventory of the Micheline Lelièvre collection

The inventory of the collection dedicated to dancer and choreographer Micheline Lelièvre traces her career from 1972 to 2023, through notebooks, production and distribution documents, photographs and videos. In addition to her theatrical performances, the collection also documents her work in street events, her "sensory visits" to cultural venues, and her dance conferences, which often combine knowledge and art.

Inventory of the Lise Brunel collection

Covering the choreographic developments of the second half of the 20th century, this collection concerning dance critic Lise Brunel (1922-2011) provides access to over 300 hours of audio interviews, some 1,600 print articles and around 100 notebooks taken during performances. The collection also reflects the journalist's other activities, notably her participation in numerous conferences and dance film screenings, her other editorial activities and her militant commitment to contemporary dancers and choreographers. It also includes her extensive personal documentation (files on venues and artists, posters, press photographs).

Inventory of the Nardo Zalko collection

This collection comprises the archives of AFP journalist and tango historian Nardo Zalko (1941-2011), author of Un siècle de tango : Paris Buenos Aires (Éd. du Félin, 1998). In addition to his correspondence, work files and the author's own writings, it contains an important collection of books on tango, as well as extensive documentation on the artistic, musical and cultural life and imagination of Paris and Buenos Aires, and a vast corpus of musical scores, Letras de tango and tango records.

Inventory of the Aide à la recherche et au patrimoine en danse collection

This open collection is composed of documents produced over the course of the implementation of this assistance scheme, which organized by the Centre national de la danse since 2010 and which took over from a Ministry of Culture aid scheme for the notation of choreographic works. Offering a broad reflection of dance research in recent years, the inventory of the collection provides online access to summary texts presenting the research, sound and audiovisual recordings of public presentations, and describes the documentary resources produced as a result of the research, which can be consulted at the CND media library.
