The dance company “Les Pieds dans La Mare” aims to reintegrate young people from disadvantaged neighbourhoods through dance and give them a tool to exist. Every year, the company supports over 23 young people by giving them free comprehensive dance training, as well as general education and art-based work.
The company would like to establish a multidisciplinary research/creation/action programme to reactivate the memory of the slave trade in Côte d'Ivoire. This memory work will involve collecting testimony, working with local artists and traditions and putting on performances and workshops for residents, and will culminate in the creation of a dance show, a documentary web series and a music album.
Dycadia, dynamisation de la capacité de diffusion artistique
COSDI is a group of five cultural organisations active in Burkina Faso. Together, they contribute to the development of the arts in Burkina Faso, promote the performing arts in Africa and contribute to the production of public performances.
By setting up the "Dycadia" project, COSDI aims to promote artistic creations through the development of a professional distribution network in Burkina Faso. Specifically, the aim is to strengthen the operational capacities of the members of the COSDI network and to boost the distribution of artistic creations by pooling the resources of the network members.
