Extrait
On the occasion of the event « Dansons Maintenant! » which it organized in 2011, 2012 and 2015, in Cotonou in Benin, the Fondation Zinsou conducted filmed interviews with guest artists and choreographers.
Sponsor of the 2015 edition, Germaine Acogny is interviewed by Aurélie Lecomte on February 2, 2015, in Cotonou.
In this excerpt, she evokes the foundations of her technique, the Germaine Acogny technique.
Filmed by Edouard Kintogandou.
The deposit of the video archives of “Dansons maintenant !”, belonging to Fondation Zinsou was made possible thanks to the Centre National de la Danse Research award in dance, granted in 2021 to Dr Anne Décoret-Ahiha for her research project “Consolidation of the African choreographic field: focus on Benin” and with the kind permission of the artists.
