Sandrine Maisonneuve, born in 1972, is a graduate of the National Conservatory of Music and Dance of Lyon and of the State Diploma for teaching dance. She has been a performer since 1992 for Andy Degroat, Christiane Blaise, Abou Lagraa, Yann Lheureux, Mohamed Shaffik, Chistophe Haleb, Olivier Dubois, Chistian Ubl and has worked closely with Toméo Verges since 2006. She became in 2020, assistant to Jérémy Tran for his choreographic creation What we have left, interpreted by the dancers of the Grand Théâtre de Genève and presented at the Bâtiment des Forces Motrices in Geneva in June 2020.

In parallel, she trained in 2000 with the performer Julyen Hamilton in instant composition. She integrates this process of thinking and writing in real time into all of her artistic research fields. She teaches it since 2005 in Tunis, in Algiers, in Cairo within the Cairo Contemporary Dance program (Studio Emad Eddin), at the National Superior Music Conservatory (Lyon, Paris), at the National Dance Center (Paris, Lyon) , at Place de la Danse in Toulouse, as well as in schools and amateurs.

As a choreographer, she has created a few pieces in France and is now developing her own creative process around instant composition in performance. At the CNSMD in Lyon (2010), she created a piece for the young ballet and then in a project supported by the European Commission (2011, Raqs el tayer), a piece for 11 Egyptian dancers. His latest project Echo is a plastic body, was the subject of a territorial residency with the Rencontres chorégraphiques Internationales de Seine St Denis (2013 and 2014).

In 2014, she was invited artist for two years at L’Usine CNAR in Toulouse for a territorial project. She is currently leading a Local Contract for Artistic Education over two years with the CDC Briqueterie du Val de Marne. It explores the theme of the Family from the link, the question of transmission but also the concept of intimate territory.

In her projects she combines pedagogy and artistic creation, giving importance to the practice which she defends as an aesthetic experience and as a tool for personal development.

His artistic and professional career was built through hybrid and multidisciplinary projects and collaborations, at the confluence of dance, performance, photography and video. Through creation, Jérémy Tran attempts to capture, amplify and transform the energy and presence of the body — based on choreographic and cinematographic research — in order to reveal its essences and instincts.

After starting classical dance at the age of 8, Jérémy Tran, student at the Conservatoire Régional de Lille, decided in 2009 to move towards contemporary dance. It is strong these years and the rewards obtained — triple gold medalist at the French National Confederation of Dance — he joined in 2010 the Conservatoire National Supérieur Musique et Danse de Lyon. In 2014, he obtained the National Superior Professional Dancer Diploma, the ADAMI scholarship and the Talent prodij trophy from the city of Lyon. He directed many short films, including Artificial Landscapes, gathering 140 people, which he presented in September 2014 at the International Lyon Dance Biennale, and Dissection of the 60secondsdance Denmark international festival.

In 2015 he was selected to participate as a videographer and performer at the Watermill Center Summer Program in New York and work under the direction of director Robert Wilson. He also choreographed the performance Lagune for 6 dancers and a marionnetist, in collaboration with the visual artist Denis Savary on the occasion of the centenary of the DADA.

In 2016, he obtained the Master 2 Development of International Artistic and Cultural Projects (with highest honors) from the Université Lumière Lyon 2, in which he wrote a dissertation on The participations of amateur artists in the creations of the world of dance: the impacts and issues related to these interpreters.

After having worked as a project monitoring officer at the Centre National de Lyon, he continued his training by integrating the École Normale Supérieure de Lyon in Project Management in Information Architecture and at the same time held the position of Project Manager/Administration in an art production office in Lyon.

In 2018, he created his company and became artistic director and freelance artist, specialized in dance and video production. He is also admitted for the oral exams of the selection contest for residents of the Académie de France in Rome - Villa Medici, which take place at the Ecole Nationale Supérieure des Beaux-Arts in Paris.

Today Jérémy Tran participates both as a professor, choreographer-director, at the Conservatoire National Supérieur Musique et Danse de Lyon and CinéFabrique - National School of Cinema to deal with the articulation between choreographic and cinematographic language, and ardently pursues the design of new hybrid projects.

He devotes himself to creating a choreographic piece, What is left for us, that will be presented and performed in June 2020 by the Ballet of the Grand Théâtre de Genève.
