Public institution, created at the initiative of the Ministry of Culture, the CN D, National Dance Center, brings together all resources serving the choreographic sector and audiences. It supports and trains professional dancers, promotes amateur practice, aids research, preserves and disseminates choreographic heritage, supports the creation of choreographic works in all its diversity, and engages in dialogue with other artistic fields.
The objective of this residency is to promote the mobility of an artist, expand their network, and provide an opportunity to showcase their work in France. With this program, the CN D is committed to supporting the laureate by providing privileged support, access to a working studio throughout the residency, as well as access to the CN D's networks and resources.
Furthermore, as part of the residency, the artist will participate in the Camping event, an international workshop platform that will take place from October 14 to 25, 2024, at the CN D. Camping is a unique experience of encounters with artists from the international choreographic scene, open to other artistic fields. For 15 days, the CN D welcomes 600 French and international artists who come together to share practices and encounters within the framework of this festival.
Located on the edge of the Ourcq canal, the building of the former administrative center of the city of Pantin was built in the 1970s by the architect Jacques Kalisz. Equipped with thirteen dance studios, three of which can accommodate audiences, a Media Library, several conference rooms, meeting rooms, editing rooms, and a rooftop, the CN D is an emblematic place whose action is based on a continuous circulation between creation, dissemination, heritage, training, information, advice to professionals, and access to choreographic culture.
