Along the way, among others.

After studying applied arts at ENSAAMA, known as Olivier de Serre in Paris, Gaëtan Rusquet (he/him) obtained a master’s degree in scenography and performance at ENSAV La Cambre. He works as a performer, dancer, choreographer and scenographer, from performing arts to visual arts.

In his artistic proposals, Gaëtan Rusquet looks at how one fits into a place – and what makes a medium – whether it is space, light, sound, video, movement, objects or materials, less defined. He seeks in a ritualized form to bring their relationships into play, within devices revealing their connectivity and power to act. He sees performance time as a moment of study and experience, whether for the performers or the spectators.  Each occurrence is then an opportunity to request, to update the stakes of the project. Like a sculptural object that would constantly seek its contours. Thus the creation of scores allows a space for negotiation between the performer(s) and with the public/witnesses.

At the same time, the learning of holistic care techniques feeds his practice and his approach to the body and its limits. This leads him to develop choreographic tools related to the perception of these bodies and energy fields, whether related to the body itself, or to the places and grounds in which the body is inscribed. Gaëtan Rusquet (1984), lives and works in Brussels.
