- [Learning from practice, passing it on: workshops and trainings](https://underground.bzh/en/2026/09/learning-from-practice-passing-it-on-workshops-and-trainings/): Learning through practice Watch others practise. Try things out without having to justify yourself. Dive into a form, a story, a gesture, until you find what hooks you. From October 2 to 17, 2026, U/G opens its studios with two complementary formats to learn and deepen your practice: open-access practice sessions and workshops with artists from the programme. Workshops Twelve sessions to learn directly from the artists in the programme, from October 2 to 17, at CCN / St-Melaine and CCN / Garage. Locking with A-Train, October 3, 10:30 am–12:00 pm (CCN / St-Melaine). Part of Focus Funk, featuring Engrenage[s]. A...Continue reading
- [Featurings: collective-style events](https://underground.bzh/en/2026/07/featurings-collective-style-events/): Battles, jams and events with the local scene A series of formats created with local collectives who keep hip hop and club cultures alive every day. Battles, jams, club nights or balls: each event is co-designed with those who dance, organise and sustain these practices here. A programme built as a shared space, where scenes are made together and where the audience is invited to join in. Here, the programme is built collectively. The invited collectives are not just partners: they carry the formats, the aesthetics and the rules of the game. The dancefloor becomes a shared space, between stage, practice...Continue reading
- [Works on the move](https://underground.bzh/en/2026/07/works-on-the-move/): Museums, libraries, high schools: the programme spills out of venues Nine free events bring artistic creation into museums, libraries and everyday spaces. Four additional sessions take place outside traditional performance venues, in a high school, a hospital and social centres. Interference(s) extends the programme into contexts where it can become a space for dialogue, recognition and shared experience. Interference(s), a continuum between places Interference(s) extends the artistic programme directly. Each proposal is led by an artist present on the festival stages: the same works, the same bodies, the same questions, moved into other spaces and put into dialogue with different audiences.Each...Continue reading
- [Six Premieres. One Generation.](https://underground.bzh/en/2026/07/six-premieres-one-generation/): A New Generation in Motion Sixteen performances and stage works will take over the venues from 6 to 17 October. Among them, six world premieres will be created during the festival, alongside landmark revivals, including a final performance after more than 120 tour dates. Here is a chronological overview of the programme. Embodied histories of invention. From these languages of resistance and affirmation, a singular and plural contemporary scene has emerged—one that shapes the 2026 programme. The sixteen performances and stage works of this edition span whacking, house, popping, dancehall and hip hop dances, with particular attention to works created here:...Continue reading
- [Curatorial Statement](https://underground.bzh/en/2026/07/curatorial-statement/): Danses au centre Led by FAIR-E / CCN de Rennes et de Bretagne in partnership with the TNB, UNDER/GROUND returns from 2–17 October 2026 with a new biennial format. Dedicated to hip hop, house, whacking, dancehall and voguing, the festival shines a spotlight on self-taught artists whose practices have long remained on the margins of institutional arts circuits. Bringing together more than 45 events across 20 partner venues in and around Rennes, UNDER/GROUND celebrates the vitality, plurality and creative force of these dance cultures. At a time when opportunities for presenting live work are becoming increasingly limited, UNDER/GROUND asserts the importance...Continue reading
- [Battles+Ball: How to Register](https://underground.bzh/en/2026/07/battle-ball-how-to-register/): Registration: How It Works A 100% locking battle, a whacking night, a celestial kiki ball: three events where you’re not just here to watch. Whether you’re coming to dance, compete or walk a category, there’s only one thing to do first: register. Here’s how it works. The principle Each event is organised in collaboration with a collective responsible for its artistic direction: Engrenage[s] and Les Ratz for the Focus Funk X EOV Locking Battle, W*ack à Rennes for Whack to the West, and Ballroom Scene Rennes for The Heaven Kiki Ball. These collectives manage registrations, whether online or on the day...Continue reading
- [Ticketing: how it works](https://underground.bzh/en/2026/07/ticketing-how-it-works/): Where, when and how to book your tickets The UNDER/GROUND online ticketing opens on 24 August. The system is simple: everything can be booked via underground.bzh, with two exceptions. For the rest, each venue manages its own ticketing, with its own practices and box office. Everything is explained here. The principle All ticketed UNDER/GROUND events and performances can be booked online at www.underground.bzh. Each partner venue also sells tickets for the events it hosts, via its own ticketing system and on site. Destination Rennes – Tourist Office (1 rue de Saint-Malo, open daily except Monday mornings) also offers both in-person and...Continue reading
- [Cinema: watching bodies](https://underground.bzh/en/2026/07/on-screen-bodies-beyond-the-frame/): Big screen: bodies beyond the frame Those who dance, those who film, those who watch: UNDER/GROUND’s film series turns viewing into an experience in its own right. Three screenings at Cinéma Arvor and the TNB Cinema bring together films that document, explore and question dance cultures and the communities that shape them. Filming dance is never a neutral act. Who frames, who shows, who looks: each film responds to these questions in its own way. The series offers situated perspectives, from hip hop cultures to the ballroom scene, and brings together narratives through archives, testimonies, artistic creation and collective memory. Dear...Continue reading
- [Open / Ground : professional days](https://underground.bzh/en/2026/07/open-ground-professional-days/): OPEN/GROUND: four days spent working through the gap Self-taught artists operate with their own logics. Institutions with their own habits. In hip hop dance, voguing, house, waacking, and many other artistic practices long kept at the margins, self-taught artists have developed their own aesthetic codes, creative dynamics, modes of transmission and ways of building community. Their work is increasingly circulating within institutions, yet those who create it still rarely access programming or leadership roles. Many remain in precarious conditions, insufficiently supported to create in decent circumstances, when their practice is not at risk of disappearing altogether. This raises urgent questions for...Continue reading
- [Blossom: a shared stage](https://underground.bzh/en/2026/07/blossom-a-shared-stage/): Blossom : a shared breath On 9 October at L’Aire Libre, six artists from the Kilaï company and around fifteen local residents will share the stage. Blossom, by Sandrine Lescourant, sits somewhere between performance, concert and choir, and will be developed from September onwards with participants supported by partner organisations across the area. Co-produced with L’Aire Libre. https://vimeo.com/1064277578?fl=pl&fe=sh The group will not step onto the stage by chance. From September onwards, it will undergo a full creative process: first workshops, where cohesion, listening and a gradual appropriation of the piece’s sequences will be developed, followed by intensive rehearsals alongside the artistic...Continue reading
- [Discover the teaser](https://underground.bzh/en/2026/07/teaser-ug-26-2/): The UNDER/GROUND teaser is now online Bodies filmed at the heart of the movement, a Crystallmess track in sustained tension: the UNDER/GROUND 2026 teaser, directed by Ocke Films, sets the tone ahead of the opening night. Watch, listen, share. https://vimeo.com/1206409189?share=copy&fl=sv&fe=ci UNDER/GROUND 2026 now has its own visuals. Directed by Ocke Films, the teaser condenses into just a few dozen seconds what the event unfolds over fifteen days: bodies in motion, dances rooted in battles, clubs and balls, and a collective energy that doesn’t wait for the stage to exist. The collaboration with Ocke Films dates back to 2015. A production company...Continue reading
