Yuval Pick’s artistic project at CCNR is based on three needs: the urgency of creating a common space where everyone can experience their uniqueness; the need to support the art of dance and choreographic writing; and the importance of developing and increasing the visibility of the dancer’s place in society as a performer – transmitter – creator.

Yuval Pick’s pieces and CCNR’s other activities are born from these three axes.

One of the distinctive features of Yuval Pick’s project is the presence of a group of five permanent dancers at the Centre Chorégraphique National. A permanent company creates a dynamic that allows the writing of movement to be done in greater depth, and also enables the team to build and establish a repertoire. The existence of a permanent company also assures the complete conception of the artist-performer, putting our dancers at the heart of the creative process. Project after project, the creativity of each individual develops and the dialogue between the choreographer and dancers is enriched.
