Why support Corps Au Bord?

Supporting Corps Au Bord means supporting Natacha Paquignon's artistic research on the question of otherness in a world shaped by digital technology.

Her choreographic writing explores the relational dynamics of dance: the relationship between different people brought together in participatory creation projects; the relationship between humans and non-humans at work in Latency, which brings dancers and artificial intelligence into dialogue. In each of our projects, dance is a language for encountering the other.

Supporting the company means contributing directly to:

• the creation of new works such as Latency, a choreographic dialogue between dancers, audience and artificial intelligence, developed with researchers in AI and in the humanities and social sciences;

• the touring of our augmented reality works — The Invisible Party, Le micro-bal, La face dansée de l'Autre Soie, Zoostories — which make dance accessible in public space and in venues beyond theatres;

• outreach and arts education activities with schools, with residents of various communities, and with audiences who have little access to culture;

• fair pay for the artists and collaborators who bring each project to life.

 

Whatever its amount, your donation is a vital act of support for independent contemporary dance-making, rooted in its territory and open to Europe.

Companies: associate your image with artistic creation

Corporate sponsorship can take three forms:

• financial sponsorship: a monetary donation;

• in-kind sponsorship: donating or providing goods, equipment or spaces;

• skills-based sponsorship: making an employee available during their working hours.

​

Your tax benefit (for companies subject to French tax): the tax reduction amounts to 60% of the donation, within the limit of €20,000 or 0.5% of your annual pre-tax turnover, whichever is higher. For example: a €1,000 donation entitles you to a €600 tax reduction.

​

Becoming a patron of Corps Au Bord means:

• associating your company with an innovative artistic approach, at the crossroads of dance and digital technologies;

• contributing to the cultural identity of your territory;

• offering your teams and clients special moments: performances, residency visits, workshops;

• highlighting your social responsibility (CSR) commitment through support for artistic creation and arts education.

 

Benefits in return are possible within the limit of 25% of the donation amount: visibility on our communication materials, invitations, exclusive events. Get in touch so that together we can shape a sponsorship that reflects who you are.
