Gianni Joseph is a choreographer, dancer, teacher, and artistic director of Compagnie Ekleipsis. A graduate of the National Center for Contemporary Dance (CNDC) in Angers, France, in 1997, he collaborated with renowned choreographers including Carolyn Carlson, Joëlle Bouvier, Régis Obadia, Mathew Hawkins, and Patrick Le Doaré. Between 2013 and 2020, he performed in the repertory of Merce Cunningham, touring internationally while contributing to the transmission of Cunningham’s technique and repertoire.
For more than twenty-five years, he has developed a distinctive choreographic language through creations presented in France and abroad. His artistic work explores memory, identity, human relationships, and the expressive potential of movement. Alongside his creative practice, he works as a guest teacher and coach for professional dance companies, ballet programs, and training institutions across Europe, Latin America, and the Indian Ocean region.
He will be in Geneva in September 2026 and January 2027 to lead workshops on choreographic composition, improvisation and audition preparation.
