Lacina Coulibaly is Lecturer in Theater and Performance Studies at Yale.  He was born in Ouagadougou, Burkina Faso. His professional dance career, deeply rooted in traditional African dances, later merged with contemporary influences to create a uniquely African choreographic expression. His unique blend of traditional and modern influences results in dynamic intellectual and artistic processes that intrigue and inspire young artists and audiences. Lacina’s choreography often provokes questions of the (dis)integration of the traditional and the contemporary.
