about june
june vivès is a paris-based choreographer, performer and movement director whose work unfolds between stage, film and immersive experiences. trained in ballet before moving into contemporary dance, she developed her practice through a constant dialogue between physical storytelling, surrender and flow.
over the years, her path has led her through a wide range of artistic environments, from theatre stages and opera houses to film sets, music videos and site-specific performances. she has collaborated as a performer with companies and artists including komoco, dancing in productions such as ima, pupo and der junge lord at the opera of florence, as well as opendor dance company, dyptik, bok o bok and outsider dance company. her work has also extended into cinema through projects such as luc besson’s dracula and jonathan steuer’s till the end.
alongside her work as a performer, she has developed a close relationship with the creative process itself, working as assistant choreographer and artistic collaborator on numerous productions with adrien ouaki, while contributing to projects spanning stage, education and interdisciplinary creation.
this curiosity naturally led her towards choreography. her work moves between contemporary performance, dance films, music videos and immersive formats, exploring how movement can exist beyond traditional theatrical spaces. she has created works for the stage including all firsts are lasts and i would take the fire, choreographed films and visual projects such as fumée blanche, way too cool for you, collaborated on creations for artists including jérémy frérot, and continues to develop projects across france and internationally.
more recently, her research has expanded towards immersive and site-responsive experiences. projects such as my body is a haunted house investigate memory, absence and the invisible traces left behind by bodies, places and encounters. whether in a theatre, an abandoned building, a gallery or through the lens of a camera, her work is drawn to thresholds: the spaces between presence and disappearance, intimacy and distance, stillness and movement.
rooted in an organic physicality where groove coexists with minimalism, her choreographic language pays close attention to storytelling through movement, human textures and the silent negotiations constantly taking place between bodies. moving fluidly between choreography, film and performance, she continues to seek new ways of creating experiences that are both visceral and cinematic, intimate and collective.
