JOJI INC is a choreographic and scenographic focused company created by Johanne Saunier and Jim Clayburgh in 1998, that examines how architecture, and technology surround the human body and how a body can exist in that "cultural" environment. JOJI INC produced 12 pieces which examined how these ideas can be reflected in film, video, sound, music, design and movement when placed in a performance context. Many of these pieces have and will continue to segue with living composers.
