Creative residency · Aix-en-Provence, France
A week for your art.
A place to connect.
Step away from your everyday routine and make time for your next idea. Stay in Aix-en-Provence and develop your own project at Le Studio du Faubourg, where dance and visual arts meet.
For dancers, visual artists, photographers, filmmakers and interdisciplinary creators.
Your practice, your pace
Bring a project, a question or the desire to return to your practice. The stay is self-directed: we discuss your needs together, while you remain free in your creative process.
Dance & movement
Join the classes on our weekly timetable and use the studio for independent practice when it is available. Develop choreography, performance or research into movement.
Photography and video projects involving dancers can also be discussed with the team, teachers and participants.
Visual arts & personal projects
Develop drawing, painting, photography, video or other compatible visual-art projects, without needing to take dance classes.
Tell us about your process, materials and space requirements so we can confirm how the Studio can support your work.
