LOOKING AHEAD TO SEASON 25\/26!<\/strong><\/i><\/span><\/p>\n

2025 was marked by the creation of\u202fTender Anger<\/em>, a powerful choreographic work for 10 performers, a collective danced outcry for solidarity, legitimate anger, and tenderness as a path forward.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n
\n

In today\u2019s political, social, and human context, we believe more than ever in the role of art: to bring people together, to open up dialogue, and to create spaces of reflection, empathy and poetic resistance.<\/p>\n

At the same time, the company carried out a wide range of outreach and education projects alongside community and institutional partners. Workshops, artistic residencies, school programs, and public encounters… offering countless opportunities to connect through movement and imagination.<\/p>\n

What\u2019s next? We\u2019re heading into a dynamic 2025\u20132026 season with tours, a new young audience creation, international projects, workshops, and outdoor formats\u2026 So many ways to keep dancing the world, together.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

The art residency at the Suresnes Conservatoire lead to a fertile crossover between dance, music, theatre and visual arts: conference, masterclasses blending dance and music, workshops with theater students, photographic project at the art school, workshops with people with disabilities, as well as with middle school students in artistic amenaged timetable.<\/p>\n

As part of the national \u201cTen Months of School and Opera\u201d initiative by the Op\u00e9ra de Paris, a year-long project brought together three school classes, including students with additional learning needs, alongside teachers, artists, and the Th\u00e9\u00e2tre de Suresnes. The process culminated in a filmed performance at the Cit\u00e9 de l\u2019Architecture and a stage presentation at the Op\u00e9ra Bastille.<\/p>\n

Special thanks to our wonderful collaborators: photographer Patrick Berger, composer Nicolas Deutsch, dramaturg V\u00e9ronique Sternberg, and dancers Eva Assayas, Maussane Lerer and Corinne Chachay.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][vc_column width=”1\/2″][vc_column_text css=””]Spreading gestures and stories<\/strong><\/p>\n

In Cachan, dance artist Shaula Cambazzu led \u201cVivant,\u201d a dance and film project with two high school classes, ending in a screening of the students\u2019 work at a local cinema.<\/p>\n

In Eaubonne, a class presented its choreography during the town\u2019s arts festival, in partnership with our longtime ally L\u2019Orange Bleue*.<\/p>\n

In Creil, a series of workshops led by Alex Blondeau, Emilio Urbina, and Shaula Cambazzu brought together a wide range of participants, including high school and conservatory students, women seeking asylum, survivors of violence, and in cancer remission.<\/p>\n

Each project opened up a shared space where movement, stories, and voices could meet and grow.<\/p>\n
