The Pépite scheme

Since 2017 and thanks to the support of the DRAC Île-de-France (Central State funding body) and the Île-de-France Regional Council, ACTA hosts and provides artistic and administrative support to companies that create for young and very young children.

Residency conditions

ACTA welcomes companies for residencies of 5-10 days (Monday to Friday) in its premises, and can also offer, depending on the company’s needs :

  • Time with ACTA’s artistic director, Laurent Dupont, for an outside perspective
  • Company structuring support from ACTA’s administrative staff
  • Technical support from ACTA’s technical director
  • The possibility to organise work-in-progress showings to ACTA’s local partner early childhood and education organisations
  • The organisation of residency periods, workshops and/or work-in-progress showings within the early childhood facilities, for companies wishing to immerse themselves in situ

Preference will be given to young companies who work with a process of blending artistic languages, who are curious about creation for young and very young audiences, and experimenting with new forms of address for children and accompanying adults.
