> The Aerowaves network – Dance Across Europe

Created in 1996, the Aerowaves network provides young choreographers with the opportunity to have their creations performed on stage in many European towns and cities.

Through their objective of discovering new talent, the network affirms its role as mediator between choreographers, international programmers and dance lovers throughout Europe.

Aerowaves is supported by the Cultural programme of the European Union and is made up of 46 partners from 34 European countries, including TROIS C-L.

Organised each year, the Spring Forward Festival is a professional platform that allows emerging artists who have been selected in the TopTwenty to present their pieces to international programmers throughout Europe.

In 2024, French-Luxembourg duo Sarah Baltzinger and Isaiah Wilson were selected as well with their piece MEGASTRUCTURE.

The Aerowave network’s participation in various gatherings and events provides TROIS C-L with the opportunity to strengthen their ties with their partner structures in Europe but also to create new relationships and develop new artistic projects.

Furthermore, as a way of honouring this network and its approved artists, TROIS C-L organises the Aerowaves Dance Festival Luxembourg every two years in conjunction with neimënster. This is a key and unique moment for contemporary dance in Europe. Next edition in September 2025, more informations here !

>  Springback Magazine

2018 marked the launch of the online magazine, Springback, which presents dance in all its forms across Europe (and sometimes further). The magazine also reflects the Aerowaves network programme, known as “Springback Academy”. This project always takes place on the fringe of the Spring Forward Festival. Guided by experienced dance journalists, the participants of this training programme have the chance to discuss and exchange views on choreographic creation for three days, whilst perfecting their skills in contemporary dance review writing and exploring the possibilities that digital publication provides.
