LAUNCHING IN OCTOBER 2026

Committed to supporting artists at every stage of their careers, the National Choreographic Center is making its studio available to Stanley Menthor and Lucas Resende so they can work on their production *O Fauno*.

Qui sont les faunes aujourd’hui, ces êtres sylvestres de la mythologie grecque, mi-humains, mi-animaux ? En s’appropriant cette figure, Stanley Menthor et Lucas Resende explorent des corporéités hybrides et interrogent ce que signifie « être à moitié » : à la croisée des continents, des héritages, des classes sociales et des disciplines artistiques.
Prenant pour point de départ le Prélude à l'après-midi d'un faune de Claude Debussy, les artistes revisitent un jalon du répertoire occidental en le mettant en résonance avec leurs identités multiples et transatlantiques. Le faune devient alors une métaphore vivante : celle d’un corps traversé par l’altérité, toujours en recherche du « bon endroit », toujours en transformation.

Stanley Menthor, chorégraphe et interprète, a forgé son identité à la croisée du théâtre, du chant lyrique et de la danse à l’Académie Internationale de la Danse. Son parcours l'a conduit du cabaret au spectacle musical avant d'intégrer le CNDC d'Angers sous la direction de Noé Soulier, puis l'EHESS pour approfondir sa recherche théorique. Interprète pour des créateurs aux univers variés comme Olga Dukhovnaya, Benjamin Millepied ou Hubert Colas, cet artiste Adami 2025 explore aujourd'hui une écriture chorégraphique où le corps dialogue avec les sciences sociales.

RESIDENCY AT THE CCN GRENOBLE

FROM JANUARY 2024 TO DECEMBER 2025

■

JUNE 29-30, 2024
DECEMBER 21-22, 2024

Upon arriving for her residency at the CCN studio CCN Grenoble, with the mountains before her, Ruth Childs thinking about the artists who had passed through—those who had been there before her and those who would come after. She knows some of them very well, others less so, by name or by sight, and still others not at all. She was struck by the lack of connection between them. She wanted to leave a little note of encouragement, a surprise, check in, ask a question about elements she had picked up from their work. But due to a lack of time, caught up in her own work, her thoughts simply materialized as “likes” via social media, a Facebook page, or Instagram.

 To combat this lack of exchange, symptomatic of the current era, she draws inspiration from the free, intimate, handwritten correspondence of members of the Judson Church (Steve Paxton, Yvonne Rainer, Lucinda Childs…) to imagine a space-time that allows for correspondence with a small group of artists. A space-time to exchange ideas, ask questions, get lost together, have fun, and share the details of their artistic questions and struggles. These exchanges may be short and spontaneous (like a postcard) or more carefully crafted (like a letter), but should, ideally, be handwritten and sent by mail.

The primary goal of this project is to foster openness and the shared experience of a genuine, long-term exchange. In a second phase, and in agreement with the group, a publication of some or all of the correspondence produced in 2026 could be considered.
