Yoann Bourgeois

The artist Yoann Bourgeois constantly strives to break down the boundaries between distinct artistic approaches. His singular method is embodied in physical passageways that highlight one-of-a-kind phenomena, pushing him to conceive of an extraordinary variety of spaces and infinite variations of movement. His universe of work is the product of a lifelong, permanent creative process that he sums up as “The unreachable suspension point.”

After having performed with a host of renowned choreographers, Bourgeois created his own company in 2010. From 2016 to 2022, he served as Director of Grenoble’s CCN (Centre Chorégraphique National), becoming the first circus artist named to lead one of France’s 19 CNNs. Dedicated to art that is radically multidisciplinary, physical, and innovative, Bourgeois oversees performances, collaborations, and workshops in all parts of the world. His works rely on site-specific creations that build upon the energy and specific particularities of the surrounding environment.
