Chantal Caron, choreographer of Fleuve | Espace Danse, heads to Sénégal

The choreographer and artistic director of our site-specific dance company, Fleuve | Espace Danse, is heading to Senegal at the end of November. Chantal Caron will spend two weeks in Dakar, attending the Stage des Aînés at École des Sables in Toubab Dialaw. The workshop will be an opportunity to meet the school's founder, Germaine Acogny, an internationally renowned figure in contemporary African dance.

This trip will also give Chantal the opportunity to continue the conversations initiated by Pénélope during the Biennale de la danse en Afrique, which took place at the same venue last spring. Among other things, her time in Senegal will allow her to meet with Ndèye Mané Touré, director of the Festival Bideew, who is interested in presenting La marée noire at the festival's next edition.

An enriching and inspiring experience awaits Chantal!
