TROIS C-L | Maison pour la danse is the country’s leading organisation for contemporary dance. Supported by the Ministry of Culture, it fulfils several roles on a nationwide basis:

Support and Artistic Production Hub

TROIS C-L supports choreographic artists at every stage of their careers through dedicated programmes such as Les Émergences, Les Nouveaux·elles Créateur·rices, and Expédition.

It provides artistic, administrative, and communication support in order to assist their development at both the national and international levels.

The studios are made available to professional dancers and choreographers for their research, creations, or career development.

Recognised Centre for Continuing Professional Training

TROIS C-L offers professional dancers and choreographers a high-quality continuing education programme tailored to the needs and realities of the choreographic sector.
Through regular professional classes, masterclasses led by international artists and instructors, and specialised thematic trainings, TROIS C-L supports artists in refining their artistic practice while also strengthening their administrative, project-management and communication skills.

These training opportunities also aim to reinforce networking at both national and international levels by fostering exchanges, the sharing of experiences, and collaboration opportunities between artists.

Through this continuing education programme, TROIS C-L actively contributes to the development and sustainability of choreographic artists’ careers by providing them with the tools they need to meet today’s challenges in the sector.
