After five years, the Compagnie 1er Temps has become an association in order to organize activities (workshops, meetings, collaborations, exchanges…) around contemporary dance. Since 2008, the 1er Temps association has set up a program of workshops entitled AExbody workshops (Workshops – Experiences and Bodies), its first major activity that allows Senegalese dancers and those in the sub region to meet different directions and choreographic approaches, in order to expand their choreographic and artistic landscape.
