Description
Albertine Dance, through FUSED: French-U.S. Exchange in Dance, supports contemporary dance collaboration between France and the United States. Established in 2004, the program is run by Villa Albertine in partnership with Albertine Foundation, with support from Institut français, the French Ministry of Culture, and private donors. Grants help nonprofit presenters develop creative partnerships and bring work to audiences in the partner country.
Touring Grants support French productions in the United States and U.S. productions at major international festivals in France. Creative Grants support French-American productions and collaborative residencies, including French organizations hosting American artists working with French artists. The program emphasizes contemporary, innovative work, prioritizes artists rarely presented in the partner country, and seeks projects reflecting the diversity of both contemporary artistic scenes.
