Residencies and accueils studio

The Cndc has several work spaces and accommodations to support the creation and research of choreographic artists. The accompaniment of these artists is done in a personalized way, through two types of support:

  • accueil studio
  • residencies

The Cndc looks for a resonance of the work of the supported artists in the different missions of the Cndc. Thus, an artist supported within the framework of a studio residency may be invited to teach students at the school or to propose a workshop for amateurs or to participate in an artistic and cultural education program when these different activities have a meaning with the nature of the artist’s work.

As part of the “accueil-studio” program set up by the Ministry of Culture and common to the 19 National Choreographic Centers (CCN), the Cndc accompanies an artist in the creation process of a show.

In 2024, the application has to be done via this online form:
