Bard College, New York 
bard.edu

The Dance Program at Bard College believes a dance artist’s growth is a product of the simultaneous development of three interdependent factors: technique, composition, and artistic voice. It is the Dance Program's aim to provide this threefold development of the student dance artist within the context of a broad-based liberal arts education. Since 2009, the Bard Dance Program has hosted an in-residence dance company bringing their unique technique and composition to the academic program in the form of teaching, educational licensing projects, master classes, full-Company production residencies, and public performances. Past partnerships include Bill T. Jones Dance Company, Trisha Brown Dance Company, American Dance Festival, and Gibney Dance. Beginning in Fall 2023, the Bard College Dance Program launched a two-year partnership with Villa Albertine, a cultural institution that supports exchanges in arts and ideas between the United States, France, and beyond.

Conservatoire national supérieur musique et danse de Lyon (CNSMDL)
cnsmd-lyon.fr

The CNSMD Lyon approach is based on teaching excellence, innovative pedagogy and transversal creation. Under a new directorship since 2019, with an outstanding faculty, this open training program is full of vitality, enriched by its links to top visual and performing arts schools, a 6-university network (CHELS, Lyon 2) and the professional milieu. The CNSMD Lyon is committed to developing the autonomy and collaborative work of students supporting an annual student creation festival entirely produced and self-managed by the student dancers and musicians. Professional integration of dancers is favored with the CNSMD Lyon’s network of more than seventy partners, increasing artistic exchange possibilities – emerging technologies AI/VR/VR included – in a creative lab-campus environment. The course mobilizes the dance student’s newly-acquired knowledge via creative processes and exploration of repertory works with established and young avant-garde creators/choreographers. In addition to a strong technical and intellectual foundation, students develop a sense of artistic commitment and endurance. The final year of the 4-year cursus in contemporary and classical dance culminates in a Junior Ballet, at once a touring pre-professional company and a community.

The École gratuite de dessin de Lyon was founded in 1756. It became the École Royale Académique de Dessin et de Géométrie in 1769, the École Gratuite de Dessin in 1795, and the École Impériale de Dessin in 1807. Located on Les Subsistances since 2007, the École Nationale Supérieure des Beaux-Arts de Lyon is a state school for higher artistic education, approved by the Ministry of Culture. Conceived as a research and experimental laboratory, intentionally open to contemporary artistic realities, its vocation is to train artists, designers and creators. Attentive to current creative forms and issues, it aims more generally to bring out singular talents and produce the right conditions for a high-level professionalism in the field of art, design and creation. Welcoming three hundred students, ENSBA Lyon provides major options which structure the field of artistic teaching in France, with several courses in art and design. The students and artists of ENSBA, who are participating in Camping, come from the Art option. Its training programmes are spread out over two cycles: an initial cycle leading to a DNA (diplôme national d’arts); and a second cycle leading to a DNSEP (diplôme national supérieur d’expression plastique) – a master’s. The design program is made up of three majors: space design, graphic design and textile design. The school offers several programs: a post-graduate diploma (art) and a third cycle for young researchers and artist-researchers, structured around two research units: ACTH, devoted to the articulation between contemporary art and historical time, and a digital unit, devoted to the contemporary aesthetic challenges raised by digital cultures.
