Born in Burkina Faso, Serge Aimé Coulibaly trained with Amadou Bourou, then with Claude Brumachon at the CCN in Nantes, before founding his company Faso Danse Théâtre in 2002. Presented at numerous festivals, his shows have toured in both Europe and Africa. He works with many artists as a choreographer or dancer, for example Alain Platel (Les Ballets C de la B.) and Sidi Larbi Cherkaoui. He has choreographed several pieces for amateur dancers with De Grote Post and CCN Nord Pas de Calais (Carolyn Carlson), and has been asked to undertake several projects relating to the celebration of major sports and cultural events. Serge Aimé Coulibaly teaches all over the world, lecturing and running workshops where he explores notions of responsibility and the role of the artist in society, always working with a powerful and meaningful vocabulary. He also explores and shares his artistic commitment at Ankata, an experimental centre he has set up in Bobo-Dioulasso, designed as a research and production laboratory open to all, at the crossroads of continents and disciplines.
