Between the lines

The col­lec­tion Entre les lignes (Between the Lines) begins with an ini­tial draft, the Galilée File, a mon­tage of short texts pre­sent­ed in the form of cards writ­ten dur­ing Danse Kalashas and the Mahapooram Ensem­ble’s ten-year res­i­dence at the Espaces Galilée cen­ter (Galileo Spaces) until 2004. Repub­lished on silent​cul​ture​.org, this col­lec­tion was born from my expe­ri­ence col­lab­o­rat­ing with per­cus­sion­ist and com­pos­er Bruno Paquet dur­ing this intense peri­od of res­i­dence, cre­at­ing and rehears­ing in a space inhab­it­ed for decades by dance. This is also where we brought togeth­er dif­fer­ent groups of par­tic­i­pants for work­shops, cours­es, con­fer­ences and rehearsals, as evi­denced by the sup­port received short­ly before the unex­pect­ed clo­sure of the centre.

This series takes up the idea of ​​this ini­tial draft of the Galilée File as a source of inspi­ra­tion to rein­vent its for­mu­la. “Between the lines” goes beyond an enter­prise of nos­tal­gia attached to the “Espaces Galilée” peri­od. The series aims to be a source of infor­ma­tion and reflex­ion, lend­ing itself, through its apho­ris­tic for­mat, to the read­ing of the snoop­er and arouse one’s curios­i­ty about the dai­ly life and work inhab­it­ing the cre­ative envi­ron­ments as we have known them and as we still reck­on with.
