CNDB participates in DANSENS, the OM contemporary dance week in Cluj

OM Choreographic Center is launching 𝗗𝗮𝗻𝘀𝗲𝗻𝘀 this fall—a pilot platform for creation, dialogue, and dissemination dedicated to contemporary dance. Designed as an open meeting place for artists, curators, and the public, Dansens takes place between October 9 and 16, 2025, in 𝗖𝗹𝘂𝗷-𝗡𝗮𝗽𝗼𝗰𝗮, and offers a program developed in partnership with Arta Cinema, The National Center for Dance Bucharest (CNDB), Contemporar Gallery and Youth Pavilion.

Under the theme “Memory and temporality”, Dansens explores dance as a form of archiving, as a space for reflection and reimagining the past through the body and movement.

The events organized in partnership with CNDB are as follows:

THURSDAY, October 9
The platform will debut at OM Studio, from 7:00 p.m. to 8:30 p.m., with a selection of films from the Bucharest National Dance Center Archive, entitled Retrospective of Contemporary Dance I – The Beginnings of Modern Dance (1925–1960), presented by Corina Cimpoieru, coordinator of the National Center for Dance Bucharest (CNDB) Archive. More information and registration here.

FRIDAY, October 10
Retrospective of Contemporary Dance II – Forms of Experimentation in Dance (1965-1990), presented by Corina Cimpoieru, will take place at OM Studio, from 7:00 p.m. to 9:00 p.m. More information and registration here.

SATURDAY, October 11
From 8:00 p.m. to 10:00 p.m., the film Miriam Răducanu – Rigor and SenZ will be screened, followed by a special Q&A session with 𝐕𝐥𝐚𝐢𝐜𝐮 𝐆𝐨𝐥𝐜𝐞𝐚, the artist who composed the film’s soundtrack, and 𝐂𝐨𝐫𝐢𝐧𝐚 𝐂𝐢𝐦𝐩𝐨𝐢𝐞𝐫𝐮, coordinator of the CNDB Archive.

More information and registration here.

The film Miriam Răducanu – Rigor and SenZe brings together for the first time photographic and videographic documents recovered from both public archives and the private archives of artists who have collaborated with her from the 1960s to the present day. “For me, the art of dance was never detached from senZe,” confessed Miriam Răducanu, who turned 100 in October 2024.

The film was made as part of the Miriam Răducanu project – an archive exhibition with SenZe.
