Contemporary dance & exhibitions & master classes
May 2018 – June 2020
Created in 1978, the Centre national de danse contemporaine Angers (CNDC), has dedicated itself to support contemporary choreographic creation. It has contributed to the emergence of some of our generation¹s most highly regarded French choreographer, including Angelin Preljocaj, Mathilde Monnier and Philippe Decoufle. It is also a place where research, experimentation, and artistic creation is open to many different disciplines.
Compagnie CNDC – Angers, the Centre¹s resident dance company, was created in 2013 under the direction of Robert Swinston (Assistant to the Choreographer Merce Cunningham from 1992 to 2009). Its eight French contemporary dancers perform Swinston¹s creations, as well as his adaptations of Cunningham¹s choreography (Event, Four Walls Doubletoss Interludes, and Deli Commedia Variation) and will perform at the Joyce Theater in April 2017 a program exclusively of Cunningham repertory that will include the reconstructions of Inlets 2 (1983), Place (1966) and How To Pass, Kick, Fall and Run (1965).
