Compagnie la Méthode
Founded by Adamantia Papakyriaki and Maxime Jeannerat, the company La Méthode explores the unconscious mechanisms of the human mind through so-called contemporary dance techniques, the foundations of Hip Hop dance, and physical theatre. Its research is grounded in the idea that bodies in motion participate in the materialization of individual behaviours and social phenomena.
​​
Research occupies a central place within the company’s practice. It enables the creation of authentic choreographic material for each production, intimately connected to the subject it embodies.
Alongside its creations, the company contributes to the cultural development of dance through mediation activities, organizing educational outreach linked to the performances witnessed by schools , inclusive dance workshops, and interventions aimed for professionals in the field of performing arts.

Maxime Jeannerat
choreographer / performer
Born in 1995, Maxime Jeannerat is an artist from Neuchâtel who works as a dancer, performer, and choreographer within the Swiss cultural landscape.
His relationship with movement began in a sporting context. He participated in numerous national and international competitions as a high-level athlete, practicing acrobatic rock and roll between the ages of twelve and seventeen. He then discovered dance through hip hop. Developing his relationship with freestyle and the social aspect of this culture, he regularly took part in battles. This rich style formed the basis of his approach to movement, which he still retains today.
He graduated from the prestigious SEAD – Salzburg Experimental Academy of Dance and danced as a performer with companies such as Prototype Status – Jasmine Morand, Beaver Dam Company – Edouard Hue, and Panorama Theater – Ann Katrin Cooper.
