Association RESERVOIR Productions2025

RESERVOIR Productions is an association dedicated to producing multidisciplinary performances at the intersection of dance, performance, and sound.

We aim to develop residencies, artistic research projects, and art, dance, and theatre productions while experimenting with different formats. Our approach focuses on building communities within artistic processes and sharing practices around sound, performance, scenography, and dance. We seek to create landscapes for stages and museum spaces, explore unconventional formats, and bring them to unexpected places.

We are particularly interested in developing sustainable artistic practices that can be shared with other communities, creating opportunities for people to express and exchange their interests through formats that foster openness, curiosity, and peaceful encounters, both within the production team and with audiences and communities beyond it.

Our values are rooted in respectful and sustainable* communication, as well as playful encounters between sound, dance, performance, and scenography, and between different cultures and perspectives.

The association also aims to involve young professional dancers and artists, creating bridges between educational programmes and the beginning of their professional careers as independent and meaningful artists. In addition, we seek to strengthen artistic connections between Switzerland and France, particularly between Zurich and Paris.

*For us, sustainability means building and maintaining long-term collaborations. Whenever possible, we aim to reuse materials and resources.

The association is non-commercial and does not pursue any profit-making objectives.
