Since acquiring the CCN title in 1999, the Centre Chorégraphique National – Ballet de Lorraine has dedicated itself to supporting contemporary choreographic creation. As of July 2011 the organization is under the general and artistic direction of Petter Jacobsson.
The CCN – Ballet de Lorraine is one of the most acknowledged companies working in Europe. It has a strong focus on contemporary creations while embracing modern dance history by performing a variety of emblematic pieces by some of our generations most highly regarded choreographers.
