The hosted artists benefit from the availability of a rehearsal space for two types of periods: a short period (previously called "studio availability") or a long period (previously called "experimentation residence").
Hosted artist / short period
The application can be submitted throughout the year, the selection process is adapted according to availability. This system is intended for professional choreographic companies with a show business license and at least one partner (public or private) and/or a performance date. Within two months of the date of the request, half-day slots (4 hours) for a maximum of 200 hours/season can be allocated to the company, depending on availability.
Requests should be sent to studios@cnd.fr along with the information sheet.
Hosted artist / long period
This scheme is aimed at professional choreographic companies with a performance licence and at least one partner (public or private) and/or a performance date.
A residency at the CN D does not imply any financial contribution (co-production) or future programming at the CN D. The organisation of the artistic team's visit as well as the conditions of their stay are the responsibility of the project leader.
Applications for residency must be for a period of between one and three weeks. Applications requiring less than one week's work will not be considered. The residencies proposed by the CN D take place in studio conditions, i.e. service lights and mobile sound system. No technical support is provided.
The studios are open from 9am to 7pm, Monday to Friday.
Current call for applications:
— For the period from 15.09.2025 to 23.01.2026
Application deadline: 17.07
Response deadline: 25.07
Selection is made by members of the CN D management team.
Applications should be sent to: creation@cnd.fr
This must be accompanied by an artist application form (to be downloaded and completed), a file presenting the project (cast, note of intent, production and broadcast, biographies), a provisional budget and the project timetable.
