This collaboration will allow the company to support and offer a residency to various artists, collectives, creation and production organizations who do not have access to studios on a regular basis. In addition to the services offered, Les Grands Ballets will offer coaching services to the artists, which will be given by the company’s artists and collaborators.
Equipped with exceptional technical and property resources, Les Grands Ballets will be able to grant access to their rehearsal studios and their Studio-Théâtre and offer the following services, free of charge:
- Two Production/Recording residencies for a maximum of 6 days per project in the Studio-Théâtre
- One creation residency in a large studio for a duration of up to 70 hours
- Two creation residencies in a standard studio for up to 35 hours
- The residencies will take place from September to December 2022.
