Jérôme d'Orso

Graduated in biology and psychology, he learned the performing arts and became an actor-acrobat, tight roper, dancer and choreographer.

​

The art he practices is essentially based on three approaches to movement: acrobatic theater, the Axis Syllabus©, and traditional martial arts. These three teachings complement each other in interpretation, transmission, or accompaniment of artistic projects. He is the co-founder of the company

Les Art's Felus and dances for various companies.

​

Today, he is a certified Axis Syllabus Teacher, and an active member of the Axis Syllabus International Research Meshwork.

​

Since 1999, he has tought many weekly courses, in more than 150 workshops and meetings around the Axis Syllabus©, Contact Improvisation, or circus arts, and in many capitals of the world, and other villages.

​

In recent years in the Drôme, he has conceived, designed and built a space for the study of the body in motion and the arts of the live performance: L’Exosquelette.

​

The leitmotiv in his work is the relation to gravity, the challenge of height, balance in imbalance, the art of

falling as a major art.

​

His ethological research tends to reveal the animal nature in the human, departing from the legacy of a physical education where the body is a formal exercise toy. His intention, in dance, is to make cosmos. Not to make, to be cosmos.
