Gaëtan Bulourde
wpZimmer resident in 2019
Gaëtan Bulourde is educated as a mathematician and musician. He developed an interest for dance through encounters with students from the CNDC in Angers and took classes in contact improvisation, contemporary dance, Feldenkreiss, yoga, a.o.
Since 1998 he initiates multidisciplinary projects on the crossroads of dance, theatre and performance such as Not Every Object Used To Nail Is A Hammer from 2008. As dancer/performer Gaëtan has worked with Meg Stuart, Xavier Le Roy, Maria-Clara Villa Lobos, Thomas Lehmen, Christian Rizzo and others.
In 2010 Gaëtan created Already Made with the support of the informal network WEB. In the frame of this collaboration wpZimmer took care of the production and diffusion of the performance.

Already Made
Already Made is of course a direct reference to the ready made objects Marcel Duchamp defined as “an everyday object promoted to objet d’art by the artist’s choice.” Objects which in theory are harmless and of no value, Gaëtan Bulourde uses them in his own way, amusing himself by hijacking them and making them into performance vehicles. In this creation, the object of the performance is the performance itself. The “already performance” thus becomes the vocabulary for a project mocking itself.
