Teaching dance at Lycée Stendhal

The CCN accompanies and coordinates the teaching of dance as a speciality in ^1st and 12th year classes at Grenoble's Lycée Stendhal. This partnership enables students to acquire the foundations of a choreographic culture through practical and theoretical workshops and encounters with choreographers and dancers in connection with the works on the Baccalauréat syllabus.

Histoire(s) dÉcoloniale(s) by Betty Tchomanga

Continuing its work in secondary schools, the Centre chorégraphique national is programming Histoire(s) Déléconiale(s) by Franco-Cameroonian choreographer Betty Tchomonga. In this series of portraits performed in classrooms, each performer, through his or her singular story, becomes the vector of a part of history little approached in the West, and reveals through song, dance and rhythm how anger can be transformed into the power of speech and action, a way of reconnecting through history. February 20 & 21, 2025 at Collège Jean Vilar, Échirolles, with French-Algerian artist Dalila Khatir.

Carte blanche to Pauline L. Boulba

Previously in residence for her MILLE SHAKE project, which encompasses the writing of a novel and the creation of a show about domestic violence, Pauline L. Boulba returns to the Centre chorégraphique national in 2025 to offer workshops in somatic practice, writing and performance improvisation to people who have themselves suffered violence and their loved ones, accompanied by the association SOS Inceste for REVIVRE. These workshops will enable the accumulation of traces of these experiences, both individual and collective, and will give rise to a major event in autumn 2025.

MULTITUDES WITH Calixto Neto

The Centre chorégraphique national is keen to showcase the different facets of its cosmopolitan and multicultural home territory, and has invited dancer and choreographer Calixto Neto to imagine a performance with a group of residents from Grenoble's sector 5 in autumn 2025. Various workshops will enable participants to immerse themselves in a collective artistic experience, to rub shoulders with different cultures in an egalitarian, respectful and tolerant environment, to develop their imagination through the discovery of new artistic practices and to encourage cooperation.
