About me
Johanna Merceron is a French dance artist and performer. She graduated from Trinity Laban Conservatoire of Music and Dance in London (2015) and currently works with various performance companies across Europe. She has performed in works by established artists – such as Carolyn Carlson, Shobana Jeyasingh, Maresa von Stockert, Matthias Sperling –, and by emerging dance and performance makers through residencies, platforms and festivals.Johanna has experience performing in a wide range of performance settings, whether on stage or outdoors and site specific, as well as working with different mediums such as film, visual arts and costume design. Her movement vocabulary is energetic, creative and visceral; it originates from her own life experiences as well as from a lot of curiosity and openness to what surrounds her. She has solid experience in improvisation, floor work and contact, and is comfortable generating and devising movement material. Johanna gives great importance to detail as well as interpretation and theatricality through movement, and pays sensitive attention to her fellow performers.
