JÉRÔME GOSSET
“I have a vision. It is a scene, a world where we are freed from the labels we live by, the boxes we have been categorized in. It is a place where we can simply show up as our unique selves and unite together above that diversity.
We accept and are accepted in our own expression. My vehicle towards that place is the art of dancing, the language of the body.”
You can change your life in a dance class
Royston Maldoom
As far as my memories go, I have been dancing. After discovering this talent and passion at a young age, it quickly became the driving force in my life. Intense training and an adapted curriculum enabled me to focus on that what gave me a true goal, meaning and joy. Dance and performance opened up a world in which I could be and express myself, something I want to create for and with others as well. When people consciously sense themselves and express that through movement, words are no longer necessary. We live in a rational world, which sometimes makes us forget that we also live in a body that offers various dimensions of expression and healing. One cannot live without the other, and it is my passion to shed a light on the side that is often overlooked.
As a choreographer, dance teacher and coach, I bring a rich education and experience to my clients. Since leaving the Royal Ballet Academy in Antwerp at age 17, I embarked on a long career as a solo dancer in various dance companies throughout Europe. These years gave me the opportunity to learn from and perform with critically acclaimed choreographers and pedagogues. After becoming a choreographer and teacher myself, I have continued to focus on the value of inclusion in dance by following courses with a.o. Candoco Dance Company in London, Community Dance with Royston Maldoom, the Humphrey Limon technique. These learnings allow me to work around diversity and acceptance through dance. I connect and work with students from multiple backgrounds: from dance academies to companies, from children to elderly seniors, from integrated groups to minorities. Together, we strive for acceptance, self-expression, confidence in creation and recognition.
SERVICES
I work as a choreographer, as a coach for (aspiring) dancers and as a teacher. I am open to creating with all types of clients: from private individuals to schools, companies, elderly homes, minorities...
Together, we build on 2 pillars: ‘creation’ and ‘participation’. We start from a theme or topic and its interpretation by each person involved in the creation. Through open communication and discussions, the essence of that theme becomes more clear and we use it to create a richer performance. This process goes on and on, you could describe it as “circular inspiration”. It can be a challenge to let people open up, but I am someone who looks at the possibilities and adapts flexibly to new ways of working that speak to everyone and let everyone speak. Whomever you are (not), on the dancefloor we are all the same.

Durant la crise du Covid, nous avons ressenti le besoin d'utiliser l'art comme un lien entre deux publics particulièrement isolés en région rurale: les adolescents et les aînés d'une maison de repos.
Nous nous sommes découverts, avons exploré différentes formes d'expression et créé un spectacle. Ainsi est né « À vol d'oiseau », symbole de la ligne droite la plus directe pour développer nos liens. Le succès de notre année passée ensemble, du spectacle, et l'enthousiasme des intervenants et des spectateurs malgré la morosité de cette période, nous ont donné l'envie de poursuivre l'aventure en créant une compagnie.
