The mentorship program is aimed at projects selected through open calls for residencies. The purpose of artistic mentorship or external accompaniment is to facilitate a collaboration between a dance professional and one of the residents to create a shared space from an external, attentive, and sensitive perspective at a specific moment in the creative process. The mentorship program is developed in complicity with the participating artists. In certain cases, the artist chooses the person they want to work with based on their interests, while in other cases, the collaboration is proposed by Graner.
