The Art of Faux Pas #11 - Bernard Baumgarten
Bernard Baumgarten is a Luxembourgish dance artist, choreographer, director, mentor (you name it!!) notoriously known for being the artistic director of the TROIS C-L Maison pour la Danse of Luxembourg since 2007. He is an ear and a support to many emerging and established artists, from Luxembourg and internationally. I have rarely met someone so patient and kind to the young generation of makers.
He started his dance career as a dancer in Germany, France, Austria and Luxembourg before transitioning into the realm of choreography, his works have been showcased on an international stages.
TROIS C-L holds membership in Aerowaves and the European EDN (European Dancehouse Network) network, underscoring its commitment to the broader European dance community. In addition to his role at TROIS C-L, Baumgarten serves as an advisor to the Luxembourg Ministry of Culture and holds a position as a board member of Kultur LX Art Consul of Luxembourg.
Bernard also played a crucial role in founding the international artistic exchange network known as Grand Luxe. This network is designed to facilitate collaboration and dialogue among European choreographers, functioning as a hub for sharing ideas and fostering artistic growth.
