Author, filmmaker and video artist, Charles Picq (1952-2012) came to prominence in the 1970s in the worlds of theatre and photography before devoting himself to video, initially in visual arts at the Espace Lyonnais d'Art Contemporain (ELAC / Lyon Contemporary Art Space) and with the group “Frigo”, then in the field of dance.
When the Maison de la Danse was founded in Lyon in 1980, he was asked to set up the video archives there, a task he performed with enthusiasm until his death in 2012. During the 1980s, marked in France by the explosion of contemporary dance and the development of the video image, he worked with artists like Andy Degroat, Dominique Bagouet, Carolyn Carlson, Régine Chopinot, Susanne Linke, Joëlle Bouvier and Régis Obadia, and Michel Kelemenis, collaborating with them and filming their work.
He placed particular emphasis on dance at the Maison de la Danse in the 1990s by founding the first dance video library, as well as a video bar, a projection room for awareness-raising events and activities and by putting together the DVD Le Tour du Monde en 80 danses (Around the world in 80 dances). In 2011 he launched the collection "Scènes d’écran" (Scenes from the screen) for television and the internet, undertook the digital conversion of the video library and created the site Numeridanse.tv.
