Guiding principles
CSC Centro per la Scena Contemporanea is part of the Municipality of Bassano del Grappa. CSC is a dynamic dance house dedicated to the development of the culture of contemporary dance and creation. It is a residency center for individual artists or dance companies elaborating their own experimental and research projects, a home for research and artistic development, a platform for the presentation of national and international works, a forum for the exchange of critical responses, discourses and ideas among artists, the public and members of the local community and an environmental frame for installations, site-specific works and other interdisciplinary projects.
History
Recently, the Municipality of Bassano del Grappa undertook the renovation of the San Bonaventura church. The church of the old hospital of the city was deconsacrated when a new building was created in a different area of the town. Retaining its original architecture, it is now called CSC San Bonaventura and has become a theatre for the performing arts, for hosting residencies, performances, workshops, and dance classes.
Building and facilities
CSC is housed in 2 unique buildings, all located at walking distance in the city centre of Bassano del Grappa: CSC San Bonaventura (110 seats) and Teatro Remondini (442 seats).
Teatro Remondini is a traditional Italian-style theatre. It hosts mainly the presentation of dance works with occasional residencies and dance workshops.
