Based in London, Puissant collaborates with international brands, directors, choreographers and curators in the UK, USA, Europe, Australia and Japan.
"[12] In 2007, Monica Mason commissioned Puissant new stage design for the Royal Opera House's first production of George Balanchine's Jewels.
[14] Judith Mackrell writes in The Guardian "The triumph of this new production is to transfer a sense of ownership to the Royal Ballet.
Courtesy of designers Jean-Marc Puissant and Jennifer Tipton, the three plotless ballets that make up Jewels have been given an added theatrical resonance, which suits this company’s performing temperament".
[15] Puissant also collaborated with choreographers Karole Armitage,[16] Maina Gielgud, Marcia Haydée, Shobana Jeyasingh,[17][18] Annie-B Parson, Arlene Phillips,[19] Lee Blakeley,[20] Arthur Pita and Alexander Whitley[21][22][23] amongst others.
