Guided tours are offered between two events that take place in close succession, usually walking/rolling or by using public transport (self-pay). Ask for more information at the Welcome Desk.

In order to foster networking between presenters and artists featured in the final selection, four production managers are participating in the Swiss Dance Days as dissemination agents. In exchange with the 15 companies, they have developed individual strategies. Employing these, the four production managers will bring artists together with presenters in a goal-oriented, personal manner, organizing various networking events.

The four dissemination agents have been assigned to the companies as follows:

Jérôme Pique: jerome@swissdancedays.ch
Rebecca Weingartner
Élie Autin / Cie Les Bacchantes
Cindy Van Acker / Cie Greffe
ZOO / Thomas Hauert

Stéphane Noël: stephane@swissdancedays.ch
The Field
Teresa Vittucci, Annina Machaz & Theater HORA

Please contact us if you would like to arrange a personal meeting with one of the companies during the festival.

In addition to the jury’s selected programme, further choreographers will offer insights into their work so far and future projects at the Salons d’artistes. The four presentations may take the form of a discussion or a performance, and will all take place on the morning of March 2. The programme is intended for national and international presenters and aims to inspire future cooperation. Since the successful launch of the format in Geneva in 2017, the Salons d’artistes have become a fixed part of the Swiss Dance Days in Lausanne and Basel.

The following choreographers will present their work at the Salons d'artistes in 2024:
Muhammed Kaltuk
Ernestyna Orlowska
Catol Teixeira
Juliette Uzor
