Description
Albertine Dance, also known as FUSED: French-U.S. Exchange in Dance, fosters contemporary dance collaboration between artists based in France and the United States. Established in 2004, it is a program of Villa Albertine in partnership with Albertine Foundation, supported by FACE Foundation. Grants support nonprofit presenters bringing French productions to U.S. audiences, presenting U.S. work at major international festivals in France, and developing joint productions or collaborative residencies.
The program emphasizes contemporary, innovative work reflecting the diversity of both countries’ artistic scenes. It prioritizes artists whose work has rarely been seen in the partner country and supports large-format productions emblematic of French contemporary dance. Creative projects can include French organizations hosting American artists for collaboration with French artists.
