Organization chart
Our team is currently made up of four founding members, some from the family, some from the theatrical history linked to M.A.D, and other artists and organisers from the Metn region.
Gilles Debs
Founding member. Born on 27 July 1961 in Fraykeh, he graduated in 1987 in Paris, where he founded POINT JAUNE Architecture in 1989. His main areas of practice are collective and individual housing, offices and cultural and other facilities, as well as interior architecture and fittings.
Alongside his professional activities, he is passionate about painting and drawing, which he has practised since childhood: he has gone through several stages, from figurative, realism to abstract, in different techniques (oil, acrylic, pencil, charcoal, pastel, etc.). He was greatly influenced by the work of Alphonse Phillips.
Corinne Skaff
Founding member Corinne Skaff is a Lebanese dance artist and pedagogue. She is the founder and artistic director of La Compagnie Éphémère.
Her Movement practice and teaching are informed by Contact Improvisation, Contemporary dance techniques, physical theater, and somatic practice principles. Her main interest as a pedagogue is to facilitate a holistic experience of learning: one that engages the learner physically intellectually and emotionally.
An active member of the Beiruty dance community, She has been teaching regularly and organizing communities since 2006. She hosts and organizes the different projects of L’atelier Cor.
