On the occasion of the event « Dansons Maintenant! » which it organized in 2011, 2012 and 2015, in Cotonou in Benin, the Zinsou Foundation conducted filmed interviews with guest artists and choreographers.
Invited to the 2015 edition, as a trainer, Seydou Boro answers Aurélie Lecomte’s questions during an interview on February 6, 2015, in Cotonou.

In this excerpt, he evokes the creation of the Choreographic Center La Termitière, in Ouagadougou (Burkina Faso) of which he is the co-director, and the recent development of places of training in contemporary dance in Africa, the challenge of which remains as much technical than reflexive.

Filmed by Édouard 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.
