English:Nada Gambier Q98577

Nada Gambier is an eclectic artist whose work is linked to theater, dance, performance and the visual arts. Her repertory consists of installations, stage works and works made for various public and private spaces. She studied dance in London (London Contemporary Dance School at The Place 1997-2000) and Brussels (P.A.R.T.S. research cycle 2000-2002). Since 2003 Nada has been making her own work. Between 2003 and 2008 she was an artist in residence in WpZimmer in Antwerp and in 2008 she founded the company Action Scénique together with her colleagues Etienne Guilloteau and Claire Croizé (-2016). From 2010-2012 she was also a research artist in residence with L'L in Brussels. In 2015 Nada founded her own company Nada & Co. that today produces most of her activities. In 2017-2018 Nada was artist in residence at Cas-Co in Leuven. Nada creates in the space between reason and non-sense and enjoys the potential that arises from the collision between facts and fiction, performativity and spontaneity. Her work often flirts with the borders between theatricality and abstraction and she is drawn to things that she doesn't understand or cannot grasp. For Nada the creative process is about moving from an intuitive place to a place where an inner logic appears, specific to the combination of the different elements brought into the process. The non-spectacular, the absurd and an ongoing desire to reveal the extraordinary in ordinary life belong to her most known trademarks as an artist. Since 2014 she has been focusing on long-term projects in which the separation between research, creation process and public event can be confused and/or abandoned.
