The Collective

Founded in 2021 by Rannhvi Mebius Jormin and Amélie Roch, Yellow Jacket Collective is based between Sweden and France.

Embracing non-hierarchical, collaborative practices, Yellow Jacket champions the communicative power of performing arts to create meaningful, inclusive experiences. With a foundation in transdisciplinarity and care, the collective merges dance with other mediums such as music,object, and scenography manipulation, to bring their artistic vision to life. For Yellow Jacket, art is a vehicle for unity, anchored in the transcendent quality of movement.

Through this interdisciplinary approach, the collective draws audiences into a poetic journey through their vibrant world. Yellow Jacket’s work remains genuine and deeply resonant, carried by the strength of the connections we share with each other. Their debut project, the PRISMA trilogy, explores primary colors with YELLOW – We're Halfway There (2021), BLUE – Turning Tide (2023), and the upcoming RED – Side by Side (2024).
