40 YEARS OF AVDC
Founded in 1986, AVDC is the professional association for contemporary dance in the Canton of Vaud. In 2026, it celebrates its anniversary with a variety of events, including a week of workshops in early June.
To celebrate its 40th anniversary, AVDC organized an intensive week of workshops from June 8–13, 2026, in Lausanne, Nyon, and Vevey. Aimed at dance professionals, the program invited both international and local choreographers to lead workshops and share practices and repertoire. Participating artists included Tamara Alegre, Maurice Broizat, Ruth Childs, Géraldine Chollet, Clara Delorme, Claire Dessimoz, Fabrice Mazliah, Jen Rosenblit, and Emma Saba.
A highlight of the anniversary week was the opportunity to celebrate the world of choreography together with past, present, and future partners, while honoring the values of reciprocity, collaboration, research, interdisciplinarity, and care.
