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.
Invited for the second edition, 2012, as a trainer, Patrick Acogny explains his approach to « deconstruction » of African dances. Then he evokes the question that arises for African dancers, to leave Africa and testifies to the recent attractiveness of African choreographic artists in the field of dance training in Europe.
Interview conducted by Aurélie Lecomte, Thursday, November 22, 2012 in Cotonou.
Filmed by Stéphane Agbessi-Loko.
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.
