The
creation of a choreographic development center
The Company salia nï seydou is today part of these new generations of
African companies in which the choreographers defend and assert on the
international scene a strong and original choreographic writing. Created
in 1995 by Salia Sanou and Seydou Boro, who thanks to the complicity they
developed at the national choreographic center of Montpellier, directed
by Mathilde Monnier and during the first choreographic meetings organized
by Afrique en créations (France), the Company salia nï seydou is a no
lucrative association involved in cultural and artistic fields.
The
objectives of the company are :
- to
be a framework to accompany and be an instrument to develop the researches,
the training and the creations of Salia Sanou and Seydou Boro, both
choreographers
- to
contribute to the assertion of an innovative approach in the domain
of choreographic creation
- to
work for the emergence of creative choreographers and professional dancers.
- to
support a permanent and professional artistic life thanks to the production
of high quality works.
At
the same time the Company salia nï seydou is involved in the creation
of choreographic works in Burkina Faso (1995 - The century of fools
/ 1997 - Figninto, the torn eye / 1999 - Taagalà, the traveller),
it initiated in 1997 choreographic meetings organized around workshops
and reflection on African creative dance, known as Dialogues de
corps.
With a wealth of these assets, the Company salia nï seydou had
as other objective the construction of a Choreographic Development
Center, a genuine instrument dedicated to creation and to artistic
exchanges. .
