Cie Gilles Jobin was founded in 1997 by internationally recognized choreographer, Gilles Jobin whose creations have regularly attracted the professional contemporary scene. Putting forward his choreographic creations outside of the established aesthetics, he has emerged as the leader of a new generation of independent Swiss choreographers. Besides his own dance productions, he has made of his company and of his Genevan headquarters of Studio 44, a pioneering place for dancers and for the recognition of contemporary dance in Switzerland, as well as for the stimulation of international exchange by means of various initiatives, such as: educational activities, dance and new media workshops, artistic and research residencies, collaborative projects with countries from Africa and South-America.
