Enacting Enaction: Art'Enact, an Arts-Based Training Programme

This article presents the theoretical foundations, values and pedagogical choices underpinning the Art'Enact transdiciplinary Master's degree based on Francisco Varela's enactive approach. Created in 2019 at the Inspé of Paris-Est Créteil University, this professional training programme and introduction to research was designed with a dual objective, corresponding to two phases. This article focuses on the first phase, whose aim is to test the viability and transformative nature of an aesthetics-based training model backed by a trans-disciplinary research community and that explores the intersection of the arts and sciences. From 2024, the second phase will assess the permeability and medium-term impact of the project on the institutional field of education and training.
