In 2018, a cooperation starts between TROIS C-L and Art Factory International. The choreographer invited to give a masterclass at TROIS C-L was Eduardo Torroja, whereas two artists from Luxembourg, Iléana Orofino and Piera Jovic, went to Bologna. In 2019, choreographer Jos Baker came to give a masterclass at TROIS C-L in May, and the collaboration will continue next year. Jill Crovisier went to Bologna in February 2020 to continue her research work with her JINJEON project with the students of the Art Factory International. Between artistic residency and training program for future professionals, Jill Crovisier also gave an amateur workshop and presented a work-in-progress of JINJEON on February 15 at the Modern Art Museum in Bologna.
