Combining theoretical and practical approaches, the new Laboratoire chorégraphique program is aimed at 16 future laureates who are choreographers, author-interpreters or performers.<\/p>

Period<\/h3>

July 13 to August1,<\/sup> 2026<\/p>

Presentation <\/h3>

To be a choreographer is to learn to question one’s own practice of dance writing, to cultivate the art of reading works, to open a dialogue between the arts, to invent places and modes of encounter with the public, and to build one’s own artistic identity.<\/p>

The labo-chorégraphique<\/em> is a 3-week training program designed for 16 choreographers, author-interpreters or performers<\/strong> wishing to question and nourish their careers as choreographic artists, outside the standard times of training and production. Curious and eager to question the 2026 theme : “The possible devices, formats and spaces of appearance and representation of dance today, and their impact on creation”.<\/strong> <\/p>

Dance has always demonstrated adaptability, a spirit of discovery and a willingness to explore different physical or cultural territories in order to transform them into spaces conducive to the appearance of choreographic devices in multiple formats (spectacle, situated project, parade, ritual manifestation, happening, performance…).<\/p>

Sometimes due to constraints or necessity, but also to choice or ideology, these explorations have very often been the expression of stylistic breakthroughs or the emergence of new aesthetics. In all cases, they have raised many questions about the function and role of the dance event in artistic, cultural and, more broadly, societal fields. <\/p>

These shifting contexts and craggy landscapes have forced choreographers to apprehend new tools, to diversify their knowledge in order to invent new creative processes, and to think of other modalities of perception and mediation with an audience, and even of its participation. Observing one’s environment, positioning oneself and putting one’s world of beliefs and imagination into crisis is an essential exercise for the artist, who is searching for landmarks and new spaces in a tormented world. <\/p>

This new program will combine theoretical and practical approaches, in the form of experimental workshops, creative phases, seminars, meetings, lectures, role-playing situations…<\/p>

Teaching, reflective accompaniment and tutoring will link content with the dynamics of working in the creative field in non-dedicated locations.<\/p>

The Royaumont Abbey site, with its architectural and landscape features, its history and the ways in which it is inhabited, is an ideal place to experiment and tackle this subject. However, if you want to go further, you’ll also need to go beyond the walls to explore other possibilities (rural walks, museum, library… for example). <\/p>
