About

Around this time last year, I was working on the 25th edition of attenDance, the only yearbook on dance published by Ashish Khokar. Specifically, I had just completed my text on Jean-Paul Montanari, the director of the Montpellier Danse Festival, who had done so much to introduce the world's dance traditions to a French and Western audience. Little did I know that this text would take the form of an obituary. On the 25th of April 2025, dance lost one of its greatest stalwarts - someone with a profound and instinctive understanding of the arts. I thought back on our meeting, just a few weeks prior organised by Elisabeth Petit, and realised it was perhaps the last recorded interview of him while in office.
