Goals
A must-see event for contemporary African dance
For five days, the Biennale will transform the École des Sables and its surroundings into a dynamic crossroads of artistic exchange, offering an immersive experience between beach, nature and urban scenes: - Unique shows and vibrant performances - Training courses and masterclasses with leading dance figures - Round tables and conferences on the challenges of choreographic creation in Africa - Shows for young audiences, workshops and school events to introduce the younger generation to dance - Film screenings and showcasing of African choreographic archives - A Biennial Village, an interactive space bringing together artists, artisans, partners and festival-goers
A Biennial at the heart of a creative and committed ecosystem
Hosting the Biennial in Senegal, the birthplace of great dance figures such as Germaine Acogny, is part of the dynamic of a country renowned for its choreographic heritage and its role as an artistic and cultural hub. In keeping with the values of eco-responsibility, the Biennial will feature open-air stages in nature and on the beach at Toubab Dialaw.
International reach and unique influence
The Biennial is supported by solid partnerships with major cultural institutions, including the French Ministry of Youth, Sports and Culture, the French Institute in Paris, the French Embassy in Senegal, the French Institutes in Senegal, as well as arts organizations and economic players committed to promoting arts and culture in Africa.
