Jérôme Oussou began dancing at the age of 18 through Breaking. In 2014, he joined the Passerelles project initiated by the association Danser Sans Frontière, directed by Sharon Eskenazi, in partnership with the CCNR under Yuval Pick. Through this experience, he discovered contemporary dance and developed a more intensive and in-depth practice. He then decided to pursue a professional career and sought to understand the inner workings of the performing arts. In 2016, he enrolled in a Bachelor’s degree in Performing Arts at the University of Lyon 2. In 2017, he joined the ID Training Program while continuing his work with the Passerelles project, where he led repertoire transmissions, conducted workshops for school students, and oversaw several choreography projects that resulted in two creations: Switch and P.A.R.T.Y. In 2018, he joined Compagnie Relevant. In 2023, he created Having Fun for the Yupi dancers

Compagnie Relevant is a Lyon-based collective of five choreographers and performers. All discovered dance through cultural outreach programs—in schools, community centers, or social spaces. While some have known each other since childhood, it was in 2017, during the ID training program (a hip-hop program created by Karla Pollux and Aurélien Kairo), that they came together and laid the foundations of the collective as it exists today. This training proved decisive in their journey, strengthening both their desire for choreographic creation and the affirmation of a shared artistic vision rooted in the idea of the group. After winning the international Hip Hop Games in 2018, the company created its first piece, UPSHOT, in delegated production with the Compagnie Art Track. The collective officially structured itself in 2021 and became an associated artist with the CCNR Yuval Pick from 2022 to 2024. During this period, it developed a second creation, STAND OUT, while leading numerous cultural outreach projects across the Rillieux area. Grounded in its origins and trajectory, the company strongly advocates for the transmission and accessibility of dance, engaging with school, extracurricular, hospital, and prison audiences. Its creative work is rooted in contemporary social themes, shaped by the individual and collective experiences of its members. Born from long-standing friendship, the company’s work is marked by strong cohesion and creative synergy, making dance a space for exploring questions of diversity, identity, and community—offering audiences a sensitive and intimate perspective on human relationships and life in society.
