Maître Bugabo is a renowned lawyer and pleads at the Rwandan High- and Supreme Court. His strong engagement and his commitment to the aims of ORPAS-ROPPA made it possible for us to create a national NGO. He brings to practice one of our main targets e.g. a residential creation studio for young choreographers. Despite his full agenda he is constantly on the barricade for the full development of our objectives.and works together with the Executive Secretary on a daily basis.

While Guy Beaujot, studied social sciences he also attended several contemporary dance courses in a time
that contemporary dance education in Belgium hardly existed. He then started to give contemporary dance
workshops himself and taught dance expression in a youth music school. He developed dance and creative therapeutic
(action) techniques when he worked for several years with disabled children. Later he
experienced all the facets of theater life as tour manager with world known contemporary dance companies,
as light designer for dance and theater companies and as light technician and stage manager in several
theaters all over Europe. After re-educating himself as an I.T. technician he started to work at UNESCO-IHE Delft
in 2002 till July 2015. From 2014 till 2016 he was responsible for the contemporary dance development
of the Abatarutwa Cultural Troupe in Kanombe, Rwanda. He is guest actor for NuovoCinema49, a semiprofessional
film making group. Lately he started to write poetic prose and still creates choreographic
concepts for cultural events. ‘Agaciro’ was his first movie as director, producer after he created the
choreography with the same name with the Abatarutwa Company. He has abandoned his job at UNESCO-IHE
to implement a life wish; assisting with the creation of the professionalization of dance and dance
education in Rwanda.
