The shows which will make up Rousset’s next cultural season were presented in the Salle Ventre by Norbert Bernard, municipal councilor responsible for culture. A prepared program “with great efficiency by the entire culture working group of the Rousset town hall“, greeted Philippe Pignon, the mayor of the town. With a choreography by Audrey, their classical and contemporary dance teacher at the Arcdanse dance school and musical accompaniment from the Giocoso Ensemble, a group of students put the audience in the mood. “Audrey was trained at the Maurice Béjart ballet in Lausanne, she’s a big name“, explained Norbert Bernard.
