Strong performance as technical as poetic, here Jann Gallois focuses its work around a single constraint: the extreme and permanent physical contact. Through an extremely precise choreographic composition almost architectural, she imbricates two bodies which find themselves knotted into each other and she pushes the concept of contact to the extreme in ordre to question about the basis of relationships between people.
During this piece, both artists are only one and the duet seems turning into solo.
Duality, fusion, coexistence remain the hallmarks of this piece both sweet and powerful. Alternately violent, sensitive, serious and burlesque the performers take us on a whirlwind of emotions until the expected harmony.

In 2012 after a strong professional experience as a performer, Jann decided to found her own company, Cie BurnOut, and to write her first own solo piece, P=mg for  which she was 9 times awarded by national and international prizes,  such as Paris Young Talent Prize and Beaumarchais-SACD Prize in Paris,  Solo-Tanz Theater Prize in Stuttgart, Masdanza Prize in Canary Islands,  Machol Shalem Prize in Jerusalem, and Gdansk solo dance contest Prize in  Poland.

In 2015, Jann Gallois confirmed her  artistic signature, combining hip hop and contemporary dance, by  creating once again a solo-piece called Diagnostic F20.9, for wich she was nammed “Dance Bearer of Hope” of the year by the german newspaper Tanz. 
 

Based in Paris, she was first supported  by the Louis Aragon Theatre in Tremblay-en-France (2016-2017) before  being one of the official supported artists of Chaillot – National  Theater of Dance (2017-2021) and the Maison de la Danse in Lyon  (2018-2019). Since 2020, Jann Gallois has been associated artist at the  Paul Eluard Theater in Bezons and at the National Theater of Beauvais.  On 2022, April the 15th, she is officially recognized as “Officier de  l’ordre des Arts et des Lettres” by the French Ministry of Culture.

In addition to her personal projects,  she regularly receives commissions all over the world. In May 2014, she  responded to a commission from the MPAA in Paris and created Humanoïde, a piece for 7 amateur dancers, in February 2017 Jann created One Step One Dream  in Burkina Faso, a piece for 5 Burkinabe dancers following a commission  from the French Institute of Ouagadougou and in July 2017 she  co-created with the director Lazare the duet L’éclosion des gorilles au coeur d’artichaut at the Avignon Festival as part of the Sujets à Vif program. In July 2022, Jann also co-created Just your shadow  with the famous duet of visual arts Adrien M & Claire B, performed  at the Avignon Festival for the Nuit Immersive organized by the Arte’s  magazine Tracks and ADAMI.

Each of these creations are unique  universes and aesthetics, going from a demanding and precise dance to an  asserted theatricality. Since the creation of her company in 2012, Jann  Gallois has been in tour with her entire repertory for more than 535  performances in France and abroad (Switzerland, Spain, Italy, England,  Germany, Denmark, Israel, Brazil, Japan, Norway, Laos, Russia, Panama,  Burkina Faso…)
