BIOGRAPHY

Gilles Jobin is a choreographer living and working in Geneva whose productions have been performed all over the world since 1995. Based in London from 1997 to 2004 he created the groundbreaking pieces A+B=X (1997), Braindance (1999), The Moebius Strip (2001) and Under Construction (2002), relying on choreographic language outside of established aesthetic frameworks that included forays into visual arts and live art. In 2003 he created TWO-THOUSAND-AND-THREE for the 22 dancers of the Ballet of the Grand Théâtre de Genève for a performance that “transcends both classical and contemporary dance” (Libération).

In 2015, he received the Swiss Grand Award for Dance from the Office Fédéral de la Culture in honor of his career to date. Beginning in the 2010s, he broadened his creative field, exploring particle physics with QUANTUM (2013), following a residency at CERN in Geneva. Starting in 2015, the company began its digital experiments, with the stage duo Força Forte (2015), which included a first sequence in motion capture, the stereoscopic (3D) film WOMB in 2016, and VR_I, a location-based piece in immersive virtual reality.

His creations are being presented in major film festivals such as the Sundance Film Festival (2018, 2020 and 2021) and the Venice Film Biennial (2018 and 2020), leading dance festivals such as the Lyon Dance Biennial (2018) or BAM (2019) in New York or museums such as Haus For Electronishe Kunst / HEK in Basel. With the same creative team and dancers behind Magic Window (2019) and Dance Trail (2020), two augmented reality dance pieces, followed by La Comédie Virtuelle a multiuser VR piece and La Comédie Virtuelle – live show a real time multiuser performance in VR. In 2021, he created Cosmogony a dance piece motion captured live in the company’s studios and streamed in real time globally and in 2024, RESET! Beasts and Demons a hybrid choreographic creation, both scenic and digital.

With the COVID pandemic, Gilles Jobin and his company focused on technology and innovation for real-time, remote performances. The creator of several groundbreaking projects, Gilles Jobin is recognized as one of the leading creative forces in the world of XR (extended reality). Gilles Jobin is regularly invited as an international speaker on dance and technology in Europe, Asia, and the Americas.

Susana Panadés Diaz – lead dance artist

Com.GillesJobin — Sat, 04 Jul 2020 16:55:58 +0000

Susana Panadés Diaz trained in classical and contemporary dance at the Institut del Teatre in Barcelona (1989–1996), then at P.A.R.T.S. in Brussels (1996–1999) under the direction of Anne Teresa De Keersmaeker. She performed in works by several European choreographers, including Claudio Bernardo, Caterina Sagna, Fabienne Berger, and Rudi van der Merwe.

Since 2005, she has been a performer with Cie Gilles Jobin, taking part in numerous stage productions such as Steak House, Double Deux, Black Swan, Spider Galaxies, Shaker Loops, QUANTUM, and Forza Forte, as well as in the re-creations of repertoire works The Moebius Strip and A+B=X. All of these works have toured internationally across Europe, Asia, North and South America, and Africa.

With the company’s shift toward immersive and digital work beginning in 2016, her role expanded. As both performer and artistic collaborator, she specializes in motion capture from the dancer’s perspective, refining the translation of movement into digital environments and acting as a link between dancers and technologists.

She has performed in numerous digital productions, including: WOMB (3D film), VR_I (multi-user VR experience), Magic Window (AR installation), Dance Trail (AR app), La Comédie Digitale & Live Show (hybrid VR and live performance), Cosmogony (live-streamed motion capture performance), Virtual Crossings (Buenos Aires, Melbourne, Geneva), and Reset! Beasts and Demons (live stage performance in motion capture).

In parallel with her work as a performer, she develops her own artistic projects. After SPACE (2012), a stage piece produced by SudSud, she created Genetrix (2022), an immersive solo, and Miguel (2023), a dance film. Both works, produced by Cie József Trefeli, explore the intersections of body, narrative, and digital environments.

She is also involved in the development of Studio 44 MocapLab, where she leads workshops and supports resident artists in their exploration of movement and immersive technologies. She also contributes to mediation efforts around digital embodiment and the quality of movement in virtual contexts.
