After studying metalwork, modern literature and philosophy, Phlaurian Pettier seems to have gradually found his way to Poitiers' ÉESI school, where he obtained his DNSEP in 2016, after taking advantage of the opportunity to develop an approach that brings together various fields, including poetry, music, installation and dance. Strongly influenced by geopoetics, his research has led him to successively imagine several fireless worlds and a series of beasts and caves made of plastic tarpaulins. During his training, he collaborated with Mickaël Phelippeau and took part in the À Corps festival, where he created the sculpture D'Un Geste L'Autre in 2013. Unsatisfied with his exhibition experiences, he looked for a new way to evolve, and in 2016 joined the choreographic workshop at Poitiers University under the guidance of Isabelle Lamothe, where he met Gaëlle Bourges and contributed to the creation of her piece Front Contre Front. Since then, he has divided his time between working in the fields, music and dance.
In September 2017 phlaurian embarked on landscape design studies at the ENSP in Versailles, since, he says, "Generating spaces for encounters, spaces capable of in turn bringing about states, other activities, is a precise, powerful form, I made the decision to no longer content myself with working on the landscape but to intervene directly, as a landscape designer, and to have this privileged place allowing me to instill on a larger scale, the convictions that have carried me so far." In this way, he hopes to merge his relationship with the human being, as he dances, and his environment, on a larger scale. He continues to compose, draw and write, without knowing exactly what the result will be, but firmly convinced that it is in this blend that he finds his place.
