Dance Ireland and TROIS C-L | Maison pour la danse Luxembourg are delighted to initiate a partnership of artistic and cultural exchange together to offer two, fully resourced reciprocal residencies for one Ireland-based and one Luxembourg-based artist. A creative exchange that builds on the existing relationship between Dance Ireland and TROIS C-L | Maison pour la danse Luxembourg to provide an opportunity to connect artists across both organisations and countries, to share practice, and to develop an ecology of exchange and collegial support.
The residencies will take place in January 2026 and will provide 2 weeks of residency space at TROIS C-L | Maison pour la danse Luxembourg for the Irish-based artist and 2 weeks of residency space at Dance Ireland for the Luxembourg-based artist. During the residency the host organisation will support each artist with space and resources to develop their creative work, connect with the organisation and deepen their understanding of the other countryâs dance sector. While the artists will work independently from each other, the residency weeks will be accompanied by moments of reflection where they can share their experience and learning with both organisations and each other.
This is a unique opportunity for independent artists to develop their work in a new cultural venue while building a long-lasting creative relationship with the dance sector in Luxembourg or Ireland that will enable them to continue to work, present and exchange between the two countries in the future.
