Company Ixkizit 2003 France

The triennial program Chantier en construction/International contemporary dance and artistic forms in creation was initiated in 2001 by IXKIZIT Cie Joel Borges in collaboration with Mains d'Euveres -space for artistic and social innovation- located in Saint-Quen, in order to support youngchoreographers on an international level.

In collaboration with French and international cultural structures, IXKIZIT Cie desires to meet young choreographers who are in phase of initiating a project. They defend a personal choreographic project that they wish to develop through research oriented towards new types of performance spaces and new artistic collaborations.

The residency Chantier en construction favours the birth of autonomous projects, the development of project sin course and encourages experimentation and artistic collaboration. The dynamics of this construction will be furthered by an artistic, administrative and logistic accompaniment.

During Chantier en construction, cultural actions involving the invited artists will develop spaces of dialogue with the audience and the cultural and social structures of the city of St-Quen and its region.
