While serving as executive assistant at Cirque \u00c9loize from 2007 to 2010, she volunteered to support her friends in the circus community. In particular, she assisted Cirque Alfonse with its registration as a nonprofit organization and its first grant applications, and quickly came to understand the various challenges young creators face in the field.   <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">As tour director until 2012, she gained insight into the challenges of programming, on-site management, and logistics specific to the circus arts. She worked with TOHU, Moment Factory, Cirque du Soleil, En Piste, the 375th anniversary of Montr\u00e9al, and Cirque \u00c9loize. These rich and varied experiences allowed her to understand the field inside and out and to develop a vision for the needs to be met and the projects to be implemented to address them.   <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In 2020, she co-founded La compagnie des autres with Antoine Carabinier L\u00e9pine and Nicolas Fortin, a service organization whose mission is to support creation in the circus arts. At the helm of the company, she is firmly committed to promoting diversity in circus arts programming. <br><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-small-font-size wp-block-paragraph\">Photo Credit : Nicolas Desc\u00f4teaux<br><\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><br><\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><br><\/p>\n\n\n\n<style>\n.enpiste-funding {\n    display: flex;\n    align-items: center;\n    gap: 35px;\n    width: 100%;\n    padding: 28px 32px;\n    background: #f5f5f5;\n    border-radius: 14px;\n    box-sizing: border-box;\n}\n\n.enpiste-funding__text {\n    flex: 1 1 55%;\n    font-size: 16px;\n    line-height: 1.5;\n    padding-right: 35px;\n    border-right: 1px solid #333;\n}\n\n.enpiste-funding__text a {\n    color: inherit;\n    font-weight: 700;\n    text-decoration: underline;\n}\n\n.enpiste-funding__image {\n    flex: 1 1 45%;\n    display: flex;\n    align-items: center;\n    justify-content: center;\n}\n\n.enpiste-funding__image img {\n    display: block;\n    width: 100%;\n    max-width: 420px;\n    height: auto;\n}\n\n\/* MOBILE VERSION *\/\n@media (max-width: 767px) {\n\n    .enpiste-funding {\n        flex-direction: column;\n        align-items: stretch;\n        gap: 22px;\n        padding: 26px 24px;\n        border-radius: 14px;\n    }\n\n    .enpiste-funding__text {\n        width: 100%;\n        padding: 0 0 22px 0;\n        border-right: none;\n        border-bottom: 1px solid #c7c7c7;\n        font-size: 15px;\n        line-height: 1.55;\n    }\n\n    .enpiste-funding__image {\n        width: 100%;\n    }\n\n    .enpiste-funding__image img {\n        width: 100%;\n        max-width: 300px;\n        margin: 0 auto;\n    }\n}\n<\/style>\n\n<div class=\"enpiste-funding\">\n\n    <div class=\"enpiste-funding__text\">\n        This training is made possible with the support of the\n        <a href=\"https:\/\/us.list-manage.com\/ltIQfkNuT9r?e=8e35fe60af&#038;c2id=91c275f05cc0971677d733ccbcff03a9\"\n           target=\"_blank\"\n           rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">\n            Intervention-Comp\u00e9tences Program of Comp\u00e9tence Culture\n        <\/a>\n        and the financial participation of the Government of Qu\u00e9bec.\n    <\/div>\n\n    <div class=\"enpiste-funding__image\">\n        <img decoding=\"async\"\n            src=\"https:\/\/enpiste.qc.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/Untitled-design-1-1.png\"\n            alt=\"Funding partners for this training\"\n        >\n    <\/div>\n\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>This training aims to demystify the process involved in applying for any scholarship and to provide a general overview of the available financial aid options, eligibility requirements.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":6410,"template":"","meta":{"_acf_changed":false},"categories":[206,163],"tags":[164],"class_list":["post-6308","formation","type-formation","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-essential","category-group-training","tag-our-training"],"acf":{"nom_du_partenaire":"","lien_inscription":"http:\/\/app.enpiste.qc.ca\/fr\/payment-redirect?jotformUrl=https%3A%2F%2Fform.jotform.com%2F261966934160262","programmes_accordeon":null,"date_de_debut_formation":"20261103","date_de_fin_formation":"20270228","credit":"Alex Papillon","nom_du_contact":"Mathilde Perahia","telephone_du_contact":"514 529-1183, ext 2","numero_de_telephone":"tel:+15145291183","email_du_contact":"mperahia@enpiste.qc.ca"},"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v28.1 -
