yann gibert

Started studying dance after music studies and economical sciences studies.
By the age of 20 he integrates the 2 years TDMI course in Lyon, France, where he receives his first dances classes (Cunningham Technique).
In 2005 he settles in Lisbon, Portugal, where he still lives. There he follows the 7 months F.I.A. at Centro Em Movimento. From 2006 to 2009 he reaches an advanced level in Real Time Composition technique through João Fiadeiro's and Claudia Dias' pedagogy, still in Lisbon.

Yann Gibert's body of work is situated in the exploitation of the perfomative moment for a revelation of its space/time context. His performances displace social rituals and collective memories in order to activate new fiction fields. In his pieces, the figure of performer takes the function of a revealing entity for the diverse actors building the moment: the coordinators, the participants, himself, the place, the moment... from his stage works (Yann's primary artistic education is choreography) to his live art interventions we can draw a continuous line to the unknown. Still remains his characteristic insistence on the social fiction in witch his expected fiction happens.
