Statement of Intent by Gilles Jobin:
“I will be working towards movement and abstraction, looking to activate continuous movement sequences without any repetitions or loops, creating individual scores for each dancers. Thanks to GenMove, a context-free grammar software that Cristian Vogel has specifically developed, we are trying to create a common language that will allow us to produce a very composed yet unpredictable dance and music. The American composer Carla Scaletti will also collaborate on the musical score, trying to use data stemming from the ATLAS particle accelerator at CERN in the composition.”
CIE. Gilles Jobin:
Internationally recognized choreographer Gilles Jobin creates pieces that attract both the professional contemporary scene and the public. For over ten years he has put forward choreographic creations that are outside of the established aesthetics framework and stands out as a leader of independent Swiss choreographers.
Apart from his own dance productions, Gilles Jobin has made of his company
and Studio 44, a pioneering institute that: offers professional training for dancers, fights for the recognition of contemporary dance in Switzerland and stimulates international exchange by means of various initiatives.
