FUSA - Festival de Danse France-USA
by Althea Dance Company & Fondation des États-Unis
FUSA is the result of the encounter between Althea Dance Company and the Fondation des États-Unis (FEU). Together, they are creating a socially engaged Franco-American contemporary dance festival. The festival presents a choreographic vocabulary inspired by the crossing of two cultures who meet, nourish each other, and explore together. FUSA, by fostering creativity, promotes and reinforces the friendship between France and the US through movement. The festival offers the selected artists a performance opportunity to freely embody their creative expression.
The first edition took place at the FEU in July 2023. In 2024, it will take place in New York before returning to Paris in 2025.
Call for Projects
FUSA is open to professional Franco-American dance companies and/or companies with a strong connection between the two countries. The festival offers a modest financial contribution of 150 dollars per company.
