Jérôme Li-Thiao-Té is a sound artist, performer, music director, producer, composer and coach in performing arts interdisciplinary improvisation.

Born in Reunion Island, off the coast of South Africa, he is accustomed to living in a multicultural environment. Travelling since a very young age within orchestras, coming to Paris in 2000 for his education and living in Warsaw, Prague and Budapest since 2006, has also given him experience in adapting to and enjoying new cultures. He is extremely interested in working in an international, multi-cultural and interdisciplinary environment, because of his interest in exchanges, collaborations, experimentations, culture, youth, education and his belief in its missions such as its potential for growth.

Since his very early childhood, Jérôme Li-Thiao-Té learns and practices the violin, attending various schools on Reunion Island. In 1999 he graduates from the Conservatoire National de Région de Musique, Danse & Art dramatique de la Réunion.

In 2000 he settles in Paris and enrolls at the École Pour l'Informatique et les Techniques Avancées (Engineering school). In 2006 he graduates Master of Sciences studies on Information Systems and Software Engineering.

Since 2004, Jérôme Li-Thiao-Té develops his artistic and scientific techniques and vision with many of the great artists, musicians, coaches, artistic directors, Culture and Arts professionals from all over the world he encounters at workshops, residencies, courses, conferences, trainings, shows and various events.

In his experience as a sound artist he has scored, performed and produced: 1) 2)

In his experience as a music director he has scored, performed and produced: 1)

Talking heArts (2012), based on Hybris’ concept (as founder / violinist / artistic director / coach) (performances at Fabbrica Europa festival 2012 / Sziget festival 2012 / Bucharest Godot café October 2012) Talking heArts is a youth initiative funded by the Youth in Action programme of the European Union and coordinated by Subjective Values Foundation (Budapest, Hungary) in partnership with Associazione culturale Fabbrica Europa (Firenze, Italy), EuroEst Foundation (Bucharest, Romania) and University of Barcelona - LMI (Spain). It brings together 4 groups of young music, media and dance artists from 4 European countries with a diversity of cultural roots, to promote creative European collaboration and social inclusion. Encouraging young people to develop a common vision of a future Europe of cultural diversity as well as concrete artistic, social, intercultural and entrepreneurship skill, Talking heArts is designed and organised by young people who met and worked together in various projects throughout various international artistic networks.

Why Talking heArts? Artists can express themselves in the most various languages and by the most various means, but art speaks one language: so this project wants to focus on the awareness of the creative process, on the teamwork between the different participating young artists while creating/working but also on stage, and on the common, shared message to deliver to the audience.

Each participant or small group, representing one kind of art, has to establish ways to interact with others. It can be codes/hand signs, sensors with some programming, defined space on stage, etc. The final exercise will be to combine them in an improvisation-based show. Through this process we believe (we are convinced) that one can improve his/her own art but also his/her understanding of others (tolerance, etc.), and put positive energy in a participative creative process.

Talking heArts mixes visuals, music and movement. The focus and the main challenge is to strongly inter-connect visuals to the performing activities (more common for dancers and musicians), to initiate all the participants to self-expression in performing arts. In other words, each of the participants should experience the feeling of performing as a jazzman on stage.

Reality in Disguise (2010-2012) (as violinist / music director / coach) (performances at Club Bahnhof Ehrenfeld Cologne 2010, Arenbergschouwburg theatre Antwerpen 2010, Fabbrica Europa festival 2011 / Sziget festival 2011) 12 young people from all over Europe present the multidisciplinary performance Reality in Disguise: one of the 7 original productions developed by 40 young musicians, dancers and media makers in creative residencies throughout Europe within the frame of the biennial project “ARTnGO – New Routes to Intercultural Creativity”, promoted by organisations from 10 European countries under the coordination of the prestigious Sziget Festival, and with the support of the Culture Programme of the European Union.
