New York, April 4, 2023<\/strong>\u00a0\u2014 Villa Albertine today unveiled the spring\/summer programming for its year-long Dance Season 2023<\/a>, a 360-degree program that caters to each stage of the artistic process from the conception of new work to performance to continuing professional development and learning in the industry.<\/p>\n\n

As part of their ongoing efforts to foster the exchange of ideas and deepen cultural connections between the United States and the French-speaking world, Villa Albertine will create opportunities for the most acclaimed and exciting choreographers and companies from the French and Francophone world to explore new ideas, push boundaries, and reinvent the artform.<\/p>\n\n

The Albertine Dance Season presents three types of programming throughout 2023:<\/p>\n\n

1. Company tours <\/strong>and <\/strong>Dance Reflections Festival: <\/strong>The Dance Season will support the performance of new work from over a dozen established and emerging international dance companies in cities across the country, including six who will make their US debut. In New York City this fall Villa Albertine will also partner with Dance Reflections by Van Cleef & Arpels Festival, a high-profile initiative in modern and contemporary dance, which sheds new light on the artform through both major repertory works and new productions.<\/p>\n\n

2.\u00a0Talks and collective learning: <\/strong>Artist talks, panel discussions, and on-campus lectures will bring new perspectives in dance to audiences across the country. In October in New York City, Villa Albertine will also host a symposium headlined by French and American performers, choreographers, directors, and educators, who will discuss challenges in the global dance landscape (sustainability, reciprocity, equity, access, precarity…) and workshop solutions. This will be the first major collective reflection by the global dance community on the impact of the pandemic on the artform.<\/p>\n\n

3.\u00a0Research residencies across the United States: <\/strong>Throughout the year, 17 dance professionals\u2014choreographers, artists, scholars\u2014will embed in the city of their choice for one- to three-month bespoke exploratory residencies, as part of Villa Albertine\u2019s annual artist residency program.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n

This year, Villa Albertine\u2019s popular French film festival Films on the Green will also be curated around the theme \u2018Dance in Film\u2019. The free screenings will take place between June and September in local parks across New York City, Chicago, Boston, and Washington, DC.<\/p>\n\n

\u201cWe conceived this travelling, many-voiced Dance Season in response to the past three years, as relationships to our bodies, to public and private spaces, and to social responsibility have changed in fundamental ways,\u201d said Ga\u00ebtan Bruel<\/strong>, Director of Villa Albertine. \u201cHow is dance evolving in a post-pandemic world? What new ideas are emerging, and from where? We hope that this Season will encourage a new generation of global-minded dance makers to consider and nurture new ideas around these questions and other developing areas of inquiry in dance.\u201d<\/p>\n\n

Albertine Dance Season is made possible thanks to the generous support of Ardian.<\/p>\n\n
