Project summary

Our project is based on a partnership with the Lithuanian festival New Baltic Dance to support the emerging artist, Dovydas Strimaitis, in creation, production and distribution. As this project is part of Lithuania's cultural season in France in 2024, our desire to promote intercultural exchange and support a foreign artist is at its heart. We hope to develop an international, contemporary dance network, and make this project the starting point for the construction of a dance route through our European countries. In order to support Dovydas Strimaitis over the long term, he will be invited for a first residency in April, he will then return in November for a second residency and workshop, where he will present his final project to the public and professionals during the NEUFNEUF Festival.
