CENTRE NATIONAL DE DANSE CONTEMPORAINE - ANGERS

Le Centre National de Danse Contemporaine (CNDC) Angers is one of the key centres in France for choreographic research, development and training. Established in 1978, its enviable reputation has been forged by the leadership of its various influential and seminal directors. Current Artistic Director Robert Swinston, known for his long and remarkable association with the Merce Cunningham Company, was appointed in January 2013 with the goal of broadening creative perspectives by using innovative choreographic approaches that encompass new works, adaptations, reconstructions and collaborations with a range of artists. CNDC – Angers is based in the theatre complex of Le Quai Vivant and its diverse program includes performances and choreographic residencies as well as a degree-level professional training program for dancers and choreographers.
