Nomadanse

Contemporary dance along the canal

Nomadanse is a traveling contemporary dance festival that travels through Brittany along the Nantes to Brest canal. Initiated by the company Danse à tous les étages, the festival stops in several towns, including Gourin in Morbihan, transforming each stop into a choreographic playground.

Artistic stops in varied environments

The strength of Nomadanse lies in its ability to take over unusual venues: natural spaces, theaters and cultural venues, heritage sites, village halls, and schoolyards become the festival's stages for a day. This approach helps to break down barriers for contemporary dance and make it accessible to audiences who would not have access to it through traditional cultural circuits.

A festival co-constructed with the territories

Nomadanse is co-constructed with partners from the regions it crosses. Each stop is developed in collaboration with cultural stakeholders, local authorities, and the inhabitants of each municipality. This participatory approach ensures strong local roots and artistic proposals that resonate with the specificities of each place and community.

Performances, residencies, and training

The festival is not just about performances. It also offers residencies in schools, allowing choreographers to work with students, professional meetings between artists and cultural stakeholders, and training modules for dancers and teachers. The creations highlight contributive formats that bring together choreographers and residents in collective and shared creations.

Gourin, the festival's stop in Morbihan

Gourin, a small town in central Morbihan bordered by the Nantes to Brest canal, is one of the festival's key stops. For a day, contemporary dance takes over the streets, squares, and natural spaces of this municipality with its rich Breton heritage, offering residents and visitors a moment of artistic discovery and sharing.
