“Encontre” by our alumnus Alix Gaillard,
a show that brings together dance and philosophy
Alix Gaillard, a Bachelor Cultural Productions and Mediation student, is the originator of the dance performance "Encontre".
After two years of literary preparatory classes in Nantes, she is currently in the Bachelor Cultural Productions and Mediation in Paris, at IESA arts&culture.
The program covers literature, sociology, cultural mediation… The performance "Encontre" will allow her to earn her degree.
Alix practiced dance for eleven years, first classical, then contemporary. She grew up and evolved with it.
This discipline truly has a cathartic function for her and she defines it as a source of power because she says that you feel so strong when you have just danced.
She studied philosophy in her final school year and in preparatory classes, in a basic way, that is, through standard themes (politics, freedom). Philosophy accompanies her everywhere and at every moment of her life.
Alix finalized "Encontre" with Sarah Vaumourin, her dance teacher when she lived in Gorges, and Sylvain Portier, philosophy teacher at the Aimé-Césaire high school in Clisson and host of the YouTube channel Sylvain Portier-Philosophe.
Alix can be proud to have been the subject of an article in Ouest France Magazine about her performance! Well done to her.
