2021, a year of scouting, allowed us to form a group of about ten young dancers from different scenes (Coupé Décalé, urban, contemporary and traditional dances) and ten to twelve professionals in cultural and technical management.

Since then, the group has been accompanied by regular training sessions, tailor-made and paid internships within the framework of the company's activities in Abidjan and, in a second phase, internships and workshops abroad within the framework of partnerships established with other structures on the continent and in Europe, in 2023-24 with ICI CCN de Montpellier and in 2024 and 2026 with the Fari Fani Waati Festival in Bamako.

​

The initiatives underway aim to facilitate engagement with a variety of artistic disciplines beyond those of Nadia Beugré. This includes exposure to choreography as well as fields such as puppetry, theatre, storytelling, cinema, and scenography. The projects are designed to provide professional development resources, practical tools for working methods and artistic practices, and expand references through the analysis of works from across the continent.

Additionally, these efforts seek to create spaces for thoughtful discussion on the roles of artists and cultural professionals, and to examine the position of women within Ivorian society.
