La Manufacture, a CDCN in Nouvelle Aquitaine
La Manufacture CDCN is a national center for dance development – whose central project is based in Bordeaux, south of France, with a secondary pole in La Rochelle.
The term “CDCN” is a national label awarded by the french ministry of culture and art, that means “National center for choreographic development ».
Like the 14 other CDCNs in France, the Manufacture CDCN’s artistic project focuses on the encounter between artists, artistics dance pieces, and audience.

> support to the emergent ant established dance artists and creations by financial and technical support (residency) to their production, with other coproducers.
◊ Reaching out to people

A-CDCN (Association des Centres de Développement Chorégraphique Nationaux)
A-CDCN is the network of national choreographic development centers.
A CDCN members :
LOOP – Professional network for dance and young audiences
LOOP grew out of a meeting of co-producing partners around a project to commission dance pieces for young audiences, as part of the Belle Saison (2014-2016), a project produced by Le Gymnase CDCN Roubaix in partnership with La Manufacture CDCN. Based on this project, the Loop network was formed in February 2016, with the aim of continuing the reflection on dance for young audiences. The network is supported by Le Gymnase CDCN.
Its objectives are as follows:
– A platform for exchanges and meetings between programmers on the subject of dance for young audiences
– to share expertise and information on current and future projects
– Support for projects (co-production or dissemination)
– Mediation and training in dance for young audiences
– International scouting
Petites Scènes Ouvertes
Founded in 2004, Les Petites Scènes Ouvertes is a national network for emerging dance artists, supporting and promoting young choreographers. Today, the network brings together 7 structures throughout France to promote contemporary choreographic creation. Every season, the Grande Scène is organized, a major event bringing together choreographic works and professionals.
