The association ASCEN-DANSE, created by prefectural decree dated 18/07/1996, based in Mont-Dauphin, France, includes :
- a dance school that exists since 1996 and offers contemporary dance classes on the north of the hautes-Alpes with two teachers
- a professional dance company: compagnie Isabelle Mazuel
- the organization of a dance festival since 2006 : Vertical'été
Ascen-Danse is hosting companies for the « Vertical’été » festival. In 2017, a co-realization was conducted with the National Monuments Centre, to value a reciprocal sublimation between heritage, landscape and living art.
For several years, Ascen-Danse has been creating with amateur dancers from its school or the inhabitants of Mont-Dauphin. Creative workshops have lead to in situ shows (Collégiate church in Briançon, Salettes Fort in Briançon, Embrun Cathedral).
We search europeen partners to experiment creation with the audience and non professionnal dancers, in the mineral and natural framework of Mont-Dauphin cultural heritage.
We're interested in europe creative cooperation, alcotra interreg, i portunus and erasmus.
