Within Practice
Un rendez-vous dédié aux pratiques de danse contemporaine

from monday 10 to saturday 15 november 2025 Cndc, Angers + CCNN, Nantes

This November, Within Practice is being presented for the first time outside of Sweden, at the Cndc in Angers and the Centre Chorégraphique National de Nantes.

‎
The festival invites you to immerse yourself in dance practices through two types of sessions: morning classes and workshops, open to experienced dancers, professionals and those aspiring to become professionals. At the end of the week, participants and the local audience will have the opportunity to engage with practice presentations from each artist and through a public panel.

Each artist offers a series of three workshops, which participants are invited to follow the complete series. In addition to the workshops, start each day with morning classes led by Ido Batash, Vincent Blanc, Lise Fassier and Wanjiru Kamuyu.
