Étienne Guilloteaugraduated P.A.R.T.S. in Brussels. After his graduation solo Love me two times, (presented in several European venues) in 2002 he joined wp Zimmer in Antwerp which resulted with the creation of the duet Skènè danced with Claire Croizé (2004). In 2006 Étienne Guilloteau created his second duet La Magnificenza, performed with Vincent Dunoyer (dance) and Hans Meijer (light). In 2007 he created Dido in collaboration with Claire Croizé, a video installation performance based on the third episode of Purcell’s opera Dido and Aeneas.
The past couple of years, his choreographical work focused on the dramaturgical relation between dance, music and light. This research resulted in the showing of two “études”: Prima dell’atto, a piece for kids on Debussy’s music and DAAD, a solo where Guilloteau developed the dance and the light on music by John Cage music (“Experiences”). In May 2010 Guilloteau created for the Kunstenfestivaldesarts Tres Scripturae, a piece for three dancers (Croizé C., Godsmark C. and himself), a pianist (Alain Franco) and a light-technician (Hans Meijer) also present on stage. In November 2013 he premiered with his last creation Synopsis of a Battle in Kaaitheater in the context of La Biennale of Charleroi Danses.
Besides his choreographic work, Étienne Guilloteau danced for several people such as Vincent Dunoyer, Rosas, Charlotte Vanden Eynde and especially with Claire Croizé and Marc Vanrunxt with whom he maintained a sustained collaboration over the past years.
