Anne Lise Le Gac — OKAY CONFIANCE
She studied at the Fine Arts School in Strasbourg from 2003 to 2008, focusing on performance art. She completed the ESSAIS master programme for dance at CNDC Angers in 2013. In 2014, she worked with choreographer Claudia Triozzi. Anne Lise Le Gac has also created solo pieces such as La Caresse du Coma and a collaborative performance project, GRAND MAL, with Élie Ortis, which they presented at the Les Urbaines festival (Lausanne), at Festival Parallèle (Marseilles) and at the TQW reopening weekend.
Since 2015, she has been co-organising the performance festival OKAY CONFIANCE that was recently held at La Ferme du Buisson (Paris).
In July 2018, in residency at Centrale Fies (IT), she starts a new performance project in collaboration with the artist and musician Arthur Chambry. This creation will be presented in spring 2019.
Anne Lise Le Gac is accompanied by Parallèle since 2018.

Performance et interprétation Anne Lise Le Gac | Création lumière Nils Doucet | Production - Diffusion Parallèle - Plateforme pour la jeune création internationale
She is staying at a four star hotel-spa in a godforsaken part of Croatia among a group of people seeking Happiness.
Within this group, they all have a status: as she is new, she is automatically a DOG, with number 23, she is the 23rd dog.
They don’t know one another and share advice, beliefs and customs.
However they are quite convinced they live in an EXTREMELY LIVELY world, life ad infinitum.
Anne Lise le Gac invites us again for a conversation. She takes us to subterranean worlds, marginal customs, pirate love and crossbred species.
* “featurings are not really works in progress
but rather the chapters of a novel
or like ALIEN 1 / ALIEN 2 / ALIEN 3
or like the episodes of a TV show
And for now I present each of them separately, because each featuring lasts from 50 minutes to an hour.
You see?
In the chronological order they were written, there are
1) La Caresse du Coma ft. COACH
2) La Caresse du Coma ft. PIRATE
3) La Caresse du Coma ft. ANGE 92Kcal

Grand mal
Anne Lise Le Gac — OKAY CONFIANCE
Choregraphy and interpretation
Anne Lise Le Gac and Elie Ortis
It starts with a collection of non-professional dance videos found on the internet. They are called Danses glocales. The collection has become a Conversation between Elie Ortis and Anne Lise le Gac. Most of the time, it happens "on line", because Elie lives in Paris and Anne Lise in Marseille. This conversation is called Grand mal and is endless. Material is gathered with joy / shamelessly and the conversation is set to be shared with an audience, from time to time.
You are with two solitudes. The Essays by Montaigne came into play and the music by Gigi d’Agostino became obvious. Grand mal is a conversation, a toolbox, a wall, an attitude.
