Mthuthuzeli November will be leading the 2027 PSCP

We are delighted to announce that the Partner School Choreographic Project (PSCP), held during the 2027 Prix de Lausanne, will be led by Mthuthuzeli November.

Presented each year during the Prix de Lausanne week, this cornerstone project invites a distinguished choreographer to create an original work with students from the Prix’s partner schools. For the upcoming edition, we are honored to welcome Mthuthuzeli November, resident choreographer at Charlotte Ballet since 2025, and Creative Associate at the Dutch National Opera & Ballet. November has created three world premieres: From Africa with Love (2023), Vibes and Variations (2024), and As I am (2025). His full biography can be found here.

The PSCP offers an immersive choreographic and educational experience. Each year, around twenty young dancers from the Prix de Lausanne’s partner schools come together to form a temporary dance company, working intensively throughout the week to bring a new creation to life. Behind closed doors, they share the demanding yet inspiring process of building a complete work in only a few days. Beyond refining their contemporary technique, the project gives them first-hand insight into the realities of a dancer’s life: collaboration, discipline, artistry, and the unique spirit of a company.

Audiences will have several opportunities to discover this creation:

• Wednesday evening, during the Choreographic Evening, with an open rehearsal offering a glimpse into the creative process.
• Saturday, with the world premiere, presented as an interlude during the Final.
• Sunday, as part of the Rising Stars performance–a selected compilation of the week’s performances–open to all!

Save the dates! Tickets will go on sale on 9 December 2026 at noon (Swiss time) on Ticketcorner.
