Introduced a little over a half a century ago in Lausanne, choreography has found a home to establish itself in under all its forms. A pioneer in cultural politics with a strong conviction for supporting dance, the city of Lausanne ceased the opportunity, since the 80s, to promote and defend this development. The strong ties developed throughout the years between the city and its institutions have allowed for the formation of crucial and fundamental structures for choreography, the insurance of the continuing presence of its intermediaries, and for the emergence and settlement of the best creators, schools, companies and festivals. All of these developments contribute to the city’s identity of being an international capital city for choreography, reinforced with the nearly 30 year presence of the Béjart Ballet Lausanne.

EFG is delighted to be the National Partner of the Béjart Ballet Lausanne.
