Dancer, choreographer, thinker and land-artist, Ladji began dancing as an autodidact in his neighborhood of Ouagadougou in Burkina Faso. In 2003, the discovery of hip-hop culture channelled his exuberant energy and breakdance became his research laboratory of the possible.

His open approach and emphasis on complicity maintain dynamism and perpetual questioning without prejudice and leads Ladji to bring people together within the JUMP collective and to work with artists and thinkers from various contexts. He merged his universe with the visual artist Soly Volná to develop actions rooted in dance and design in encounter with other artistic and scientific disciplines.
