Vincent Thomasset

Vincent Thomasset was born in 1974. After studying literature in Grenoble, he accumulated odd jobs before working as an interpreter with a number of stage directors, including Pascal Rambert. In 2007 he enrolled in Ex.e.r.ce (at the Montpellier National Choreographic Centre), which would be the starting point of 3 years of research.

Working mainly in situ (Paris regional trains, stairwells, car parks, parks, museum courtyards, etc.) in order to save money and ensure freedom, for a while, from economic pressures, he accumulated a variety of materials and issues, literary, choreographic and plastic alike, in the course of public performances.

Today, he has decided to devote himself to the production of reproducible shapes, in particular by creating a series of shows entitled Serendipity, the first 2 episodes of which (Sus à la bibliothèque ! & Les Protragronistes) were created for the Artdanthé festival in 2011 and 2012. A large part of his work is archived online, thus allowing an overview of his approach.
